ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES

Features incorporated in the Ministry of Social Justice website to make it accessible are:


links Skip to Main Content: Quick access to the core content on the page is provided without going through repetitive navigation using the keyboard.


links Icons: Text has been supplemented with icons to enable users with learning disabilities understand the information easily. Icons have been provided along with text labels for key navigation options as well as important features, such as print, email etc.


links Keyboard support for drop-down menus: Drop-down menus have been used to display the top navigation options across the website. Keyboard access has been provided to enable users with mobility and visual disabilities access the navigation options. Keyboard users can access the top navigation options in the following manner:


links Drop-down menus: Press the Tab key & Space bar to navigate to the drop-down menu options, such as About Us, Our Team, Academics etc.


links Accessibility Options: Options to change the text size and contrast scheme are provided.


links Descriptive Link Text: Brief description of a link is provided using descriptive phrases instead of just using words such as 'Read more' and 'Click here' as link text. Further, if a link opens a Website in a new window, the description specifies the same.


links Identification of file type and file size: Information about alternate file types, such as PDF, Word, Excel along with the file size has been provided within the link text to help users identify the same. In addition, icons for different file types have been provided with the links. This helps users in deciding whether they wish to access the link. For example, if a link opens a PDF file, the link text specifies its file size and file type.


links Table Headers: The table headings are marked and associated with their corresponding cells in each row. This enables a screen reader to read out the column and row header of any cell for the user.


links Table caption and summary: Table captions are specified that act as labels, which indicate what data is provided in the table. In addition summary is specified to provide description for screen reader users to enable them understand the table information easily.


links Headings: The Web page content is organized using appropriate headings and subheadings that provide a readable structure. H1 indicates the main heading, whereas H2 indicates a subheading.


links Titles: An appropriate name for each Web page is specified that helps you to understand the page content easily.


links Alternate Text: Brief description of an image is provided for users with visual disability. If you are using a browser that supports only text or have turned off the image display, you can still know what the image is all about by reading the alternate text in absence of an image. In addition, some browsers display the alternate text in the form of a tooltip when the user moves the mouse pointer over the image.


links Explicit Form Label Association: A label is linked to its respective control, such as text box, check box, radio button, and drop-down list. This enables the assistive devices to identify the labels for the controls on a form.


links Form instructions and errors: Instruction text and error messages for forms are displayed dynamically i.e. while the user is navigating the form and filling up the form. To make this information available to users including screen reader users, ARIA techniques have been used. To ensure users are able to access this important form information, help for the same has been provided.


links Consistent Navigation Mechanism: Consistent means of navigation and style of presentation throughout the Website has been incorporated.


links Keyboard Support: The website can be browsed using a keyboard by pressing the Tab and Shift + Tab keys.
