This accessibility statement applies to the National Supply Disruption Response Case Management website.
This website is run by the NHS Business Services Authority. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
- change colours, contrast levels and fonts
- zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- navigate the website using speech recognition software
- listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent version of NVDA)
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
How accessible this website is
We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible, as:
- it is not possible to interact with date pickers and table filters without JavaScript enabled
- the administration pages use dropdowns that contain non-focusable elements which cannot be expanded using a keyboard - this is an administrative function and should not affect most users

Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
It is not possible to interact with date pickers and table filters without JavaScript enabled. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion (4.1.2 Name, Role, Value)
The administration pages use dropdowns that contain non-focusable elements which cannot be expanded using a keyboard. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion (2.1.3 Keyboard (No exception))
We plan to fix all of the above accessibility issues by March 2024. When we publish new content we’ll make sure it meets accessibility standards.
What we’re doing to improve accessibility
We’re committed to making sure this website is compliant to WCAG 2.1 ‘AA’ standard.
Our accessibility compliance statement will be reviewed every six months. Every new released website will be designed, built, and tested to meet ‘AA’ standards by default.
Preparation of this accessibility statement
This statement was prepared on 15 December 2020. It was last reviewed on 24 March 2023.
This website was last tested on 24 March 2023. The test was carried out by the NHSBSA test and front end development teams.
We tested all of the website screens to meet ‘AA’ WCAG 2.1 standards, using manual and automated tests.
We run each webpage through automated Wave, Lighthouse and Axe accessibility tools then manually test with screen readers (NVDA) and standards checklists. We run representative user journey tests through speech recognition software (Dragon or Voice Control).
These checklists contain standards that have been compiled using WCAG, the NHS service manual and Government Digital Service (GDS) guidance.
