This website was last tested on 1st September 2025 by The Health Informatics Service Web Department to WCAG 2.2 AA Standard. 

They used the following approach when deciding on a sample of pages to test:

  • Looked at all mediums used on the website, for example text, images, maps, videos and forms, and added at least one page per item to our sample list.
  • Always included the homepage.
  • Used Lighthouse, Wave, Axe DevTools and ARC Toolkit to audit the sample pages.
  • Performed a manual tab and zoom check.
