Partially compliant, with known third-party limitations

Non-accessible content
Documents
Some of the policy documents, Standard Operating Procedures and Seized & Sold newsletter issues published on this website are PDFs and other document files. These documents are written, produced and owned by the AMO and its partner organisations, and are uploaded to the website by AMO content editors. Publishing a document on this website does not change the content or internal structure of the file.
● Some of our documents do not meet accessibility standards — for example, they may not be tagged for screen readers, or may not include alternative text for images, charts or diagrams. This does not meet WCAG 2.2 success criteria 1.1.1 Non-text Content, 1.3.1 Info and Relationships and 2.4.2 Page Titled.
Getting a document in another format. If you need any document on this website in an accessible or alternative format — including plain text, large print, or an accessible Word or HTML version — contact us using the details above and we will provide it. We aim to respond within 10 working days.
Video content
Where we publish video, we aim to provide captions and a transcript of the video.
Third-party content
Some content on this website is embedded from, or links to, systems we do not control — including the Knowledge Hub and partner organisation websites. We are not responsible for the accessibility of third-party platforms, and content hosted on them is outside the scope of the accessibility regulations as they apply to us. Where we are aware of an accessibility barrier on a platform we link to, we will raise it with the organisation responsible.
What we are doing to improve accessibility

● We include accessibility checks in our content publishing process, including checks on documents before upload.
● We review this statement at least once a year, and whenever we make a significant change to the website.
