Accessibility statement for UK Radioactive Waste Inventory

This accessibility statement applies to the UK Radioactive Waste Inventory website.

This website is run by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or device settings
  • zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

How accessible this website is

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

  • you cannot modify the line height or spacing of text
  • most older PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software

How accessible our documents are

New documents that we publish and documents you need to download should be fully accessible.

However, we know that some of our older documents (published before 23 September 2018) are not accessible. For example, some of them:

  • are not tagged up properly (they do not contain proper headings or alt text)
  • contain tables that include text rather than data
  • contain technical content that may not be written in plain English

This mostly applies to our corporate reports and attached files.

But if you need to access information in one of these document types, you can contact us and ask for an alternative format.

Feedback and contact information

Enforcement procedure

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’). If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Compliance status

The website has been tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard.

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

PDFs and other documents

The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services. For example, we do not plan to fix UK Radioactive Waste Inventory Reports published before that time.

Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.

Live video

We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.

Preparation of this accessibility statement

This statement was prepared on 20 November 2024.

This website was last tested on 13 November 2024 against the WCAG 2.2 AA standard.

The test was carried out by Forepoint.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

We ensure that all authors of our externally published documents are aware of the requirements to create accessible documents, and we are training employees responsible for creating and publishing documents so that they can check that all future publications meet accessibility standards.
