Using our documents

The National Crime Agency Remuneration Review Body publishes documents in a range of formats, including: PDF, Word, Excel and other types of documents.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use those documents. For example, when we produce a document we make sure to:

• provide a plain text webpage (鈥楬TML鈥�) option where possible
• tag headings and other parts of the document properly, so screen readers can understand the page structure
• make sure we include alternative text alongside non-decorative images, so people who can鈥檛 see them can understand what they鈥檙e there for
• avoid using tables, except when we鈥檙e presenting data
• write in plain English whenever possible

How accessible our documents are

New documents we publish and documents you need to download or fill in to access one of the services we provide should be fully accessible. However, we know that some of our older documents (published before 23 September 2018) are not accessible. For example, some of them:

• are photocopies or in a print format and aren鈥檛 marked up in a way that allows screen reader users to understand them
• aren鈥檛 tagged up properly - for example, they don鈥檛 contain proper headings

We don鈥檛 currently have plans to make these documents accessible, but if you need to access information in them, you can contact us and ask for an alternative format.

What to do if you can鈥檛 use one of our documents

As part of providing documents in another way, we will need to send you messages or documents. Tell us how you want us to send messages and documents to you. Tell us if you need them in a different format, for example large print or audio recording.

Non accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Non compliance with the accessibility regulations

We plan to tag and use accessible headings and structures in all documents published after 23 September 2018 by September 2020.

When we publish new documents we鈥檒l make sure our use of tagging, headings and content structures meets accessibility standards.

We plan to add text alternatives to visual elements in all documents produced after 23 September 2018, that fail to meet the accessibility guidelines, by September 2020. When we publish new documents we鈥檒l make sure our use of diagrams and other visual elements meet accessibility standards.

Content that鈥檚 not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

Some of our documents produced before 23 September 2018 are essential to providing our services. For example, we may still have some PDFs with information on how users can access our services, and forms that are not accessible. By September 2020, we plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages.

The accessibility regulations don鈥檛 require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they鈥檙e not essential to providing our services. We don鈥檛 plan to fix:

• non-statutory guidance that doesn鈥檛 relate to the provision of a service
• consultation responses
• policy papers
• independent reports
• corporate reports
• correspondence
• research and statistics
• transparency data
• Freedom of Information releases

Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
