Preparation of this accessibility statement

This statement was prepared on 23rd September 2018. It was last reviewed on 22nd September 2020.

This website was last tested on 22nd September 2020 by CALL Scotland.

The test was carried out on the Creating Passports page which has structure as well as lots of links and images. We tested:

• The menu system just using a keyboard so as to mimic a user who could not use a mouse. This showed it was possible to navigate and the user could see where they were at any time (focus).
• Using a screen reader, we checked the structure of the document to make sure it made sense, i.e. headings, paragraphs, links.
• All alt text on images were checked and if they were decorative or the text explained enough then they were left empty. If alt text was required, then it was checked.
• The text was enlarged using the browser so as to check that flow was maintained and it did not overlap.
• A text-to-speech software was used to check that it could be read.
• Checked that the 'skip to content' button worked.
• Checked that the accessibility statement could be easily accessed.
• Colour contrasts were checked.
• Any linked PDFs (from this website) were checked to make sure they were accessible or had an alternative that could be viewed.
