We're committed to providing a website that’s accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of disability, capability or technology.

This site has been developed to conform to level AA of the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0. These guidelines are the internationally recognised benchmark for building accessible websites.

We aim for a consistently high level of usability across the NICE website, following best practice accessibility guidelines. We engage with disabled, non-disabled and older people throughout website development to fully understand user requirements and ensure we produce sites that meet these. We aim to provide the most accessible experience possible and have implemented additional accessibility features such as skip navigation links.

Media player

We currently use YouTube for videos, SoundCloud for podcasts and MP4 sound bites to provide audio and video on the site. These media players are accessible and some also include captions and audio-descriptions.

Text transcripts are available for audio and video material on request.

Audio and video is pre-set not to play automatically.

Accessibility limitations

Due to certain constraints, we have had to include technologies and features that may cause accessibility issues. These include:

• Adobe PDF downloadable documents.
• Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint downloadable documents.
• Google Maps (third party map application).
• reCAPTCHA (third party CAPTCHA application).

We're making every effort to overcome these limitations and provide accessible alternatives on request.

If you need alternative versions of our downloadable documents or if you experience any accessibility problems with our site, please contact us.

NICE does not assume responsibility for third party applications.
