Test Report

This website was last tested on 4th March 2026 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.
