The National Assistance Card Service is committed to digital and online accessibility and equality. Our aim is to provide an accessible user experience for everyone. The National Assistance Card website is aimed to be structured in a way that allows those of all abilities to quickly and easily find relevant information and access all areas.

How we aim to ensure accessible content

The National Assistance Card Service references the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.0 as its guiding principle.

As we create new content, pages and functionality for our website, the principles of accessible digital design are at the forefront of our development.

We continually test content, both written and visual, and website features for WCAG 2.0 Level AA compliance and aim to fix any issues to ensure we meet, or exceed, the required standards.
