HMCTS API Marketplace

Beta This is a new service. Help us improve it by giving feedback.

Accessibility statement for the HMCTS API Marketplace

This statement applies to the HMCTS API Marketplace. It does not cover the API catalogue at hmcts.github.io/amp-catalog, which is a separate service with its own accessibility statement.

This service is run by HMCTS Digital and Technology Solutions. We want as many people as possible to be able to use it. That means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate the whole service using just a keyboard
  • navigate the whole service using speech recognition software
  • listen to the service using a screen reader

We have also tried to make the language as plain as possible, which is not always easy for a service about APIs.

How accessible this service is

NEEDS SIGN-OFF — accessibility lead. This service has not yet been formally assessed against WCAG 2.2 AA, so no compliance claim is made here. An automated axe check runs against every page on every change, but automated testing catches only part of the picture. Do not replace this paragraph with a compliance statement until an audit has actually been carried out — a statement claiming an untested conformance level is worse than one that admits the gap.

This service is in beta and under active development. We know of no accessibility problems in it at the time of writing, but it has not been independently tested.

Feedback and contact information

If you need information on this service in a different format like accessible PDF, large print, easy read, audio recording or braille, or you find any accessibility problem not listed on this page, contact the marketplace team.

We’ll consider your request and get back to you.

Enforcement procedure

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018. If you are not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service, or the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland if you live in Northern Ireland.

NEEDS SIGN-OFF. Confirm this paragraph against the current GOV.UK model accessibility statement wording before publication — the model text is the version that should appear here.

Technical information about this service’s accessibility

HMCTS is committed to making this service accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Compliance status

NEEDS SIGN-OFF — accessibility lead. The compliance status (fully, partially, or not compliant with WCAG 2.2 AA) cannot be stated until an audit has been completed, and must not be guessed.

Preparation of this statement

NEEDS SIGN-OFF. Three facts are required and must be real: the date this statement was prepared, the date the service was last tested, and who carried out the testing and how.

This service was built on the GOV.UK Design System, and every page is checked automatically against WCAG 2.1 AA using axe on every change. That is a floor, not an audit.
