Accessibility statement

This accessibility statement applies to all targetconnect instances.

This system was developed by Group GTI as a hosted application for use by our clients, each client has their own instance of the application.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this application. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • Change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • Zoom in up to 200% without the text spilling off the screen
  • Navigate most of the application using just a keyboard
  • Navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • Listen to most of the application using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We’ve also made the application 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 application is

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible. You can see a full list of any issues we currently know about in the Non-accessible content section of this statement.

We have completed a core set of basic checks which identify key accessibility barriers most likely to affect disabled users. This includes testing with automated tools and some assistive technologies as well as manual testing. While not a comprehensive WCAG audit, this should still serve to highlight key accessibility blockers.
