  • 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)

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

  • Though the video does not have spoken audio it does have animated text. Some users may find this difficult to read.
  • Some users of assitive technology may find navigating the video controls difficult.

Enforcement procedure

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’).

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Northern Powergrid is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

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.

Disproportionate burden

We believe that addressing the following would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. We will make another assessment at the time of the next accessibility review, likely to be Summer 2022.

Embedded videos hosted on YouTube, Vimeo and other media players include non-accessible elements that are native to the video platform. For example, some users may find the controls awkward to navigate. This fails WCAG criteria 2.1 and 2.4, concerning keyboard accessibility and navigability.



Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

No items to comment upon.
