Accessibility statement
This version of the AQuA book is a preliminary ALPHA draft. It is still in development, and we are still working to ensure that it meets user needs. At this stage, the site does not fully incorporate requirements from accessibility legislation.
The draft currently has no official status. It is a work in progress and is subject to further revision and reconfiguration (possibly substantial change) before it is finalised.
This accessibility statement applies to this online version of the AQuA Book. Please note that this does not include third-party content that is referenced from this guidance.
The website is managed by the Quality and Improvement division of the Office for National Statistics.
We would like this guidance to be accessible for as many people as possible. This means that you should be able to:
- change colours, contrast levels and fonts
- zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
- listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
For keyboard navigation, {kbd}Up Arrow and {kbd}Down Arrowkeys can be used to scroll up and down on the current page. {kbd}Left Arrow and {kbd}Right Arrow keys can be used to move forwards and backwards through the pages of the book. Tabbed content (including code example) can be focused using the {kbd}Tab key. {kbd}Left Arrow and {kbd}Right Arrow keys are then used to focus the required tab option, where {kbd}Enter can be used to select that option and display the associated content.
