Accessibility statement for the Acas customer enquiry form

This accessibility statement applies to our customer enquiry form.

This form is run by Acas. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this form. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • zoom in up to 150% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the form using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the form using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the form using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We've also made the form text as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
