Accessibility Statement 

Our aim at the Regulator of Social Housing is to provide accessible services. We take our responsibilities in this area very seriously, and regularly review how best to improve our products and services. We welcome the insight that this regular dialogue brings as part of our business continual improvements.

Our website offers a range of accessibility tools such as but not limited to:

• Users can change colours, contrast levels and fonts
• Every feature can be used when the text size is increased by 200% and that content reflows to a single column when it is increased by 400%
• We make sure your system is responsive - for example to the user’s device, page orientation and the font size they like to use.
• The system works well with assistive technologies – for example, important messages are marked up in a way that the screen readers know they are important
• We use valid HTML so user agents, including assistive technologies, can accurately interpret and parse content
• Our code lets assistive technologies know what every user interface component is for, what state it’s currently in and if it changes
• Important status messages or modal dialogs are marked up in a way that informs user of their presence and purpose, and lets them interact with them using their assistive technology
• The system allows the user to return to what they were doing after they’ve interacted with the status message or modal input
• The features look consistent and behave in predictable ways
• All form fields have visible and meaningful labels and we make sure that they’re marked up properly

Where applicable, we will ensure the following in the content of the webpage is understandable. This includes:

• Use of plain English
• Keeping sentences short
• Not using words and phrases that people won’t recognise or providing an explanation if we can’t avoid it
• Explanation of all abbreviations and acronyms, unless they are well known and in common use - for example UK, EU, VAT
• Making it clear what language the content is written in and indicating if this changes
