Third party portals

Where we choose to feature third party content or functionality on our website, we are responsible for ensuring it meets accessibility standards.

If we have paid for content to be created, or have a contractual relationship with the commissioner, we ensure accessibility guidelines are met as part of contractual obligations.

Where applicable we have done a full audit of all third party portals and provided the software supplier with a breakdown of any outstanding issues.

Below we have listed the third party suppliers we have been working with and an update on our progress.
