Accessibility statement for the GOV.UK Wallet sandbox

Imported from official source

This accessibility statement applies to the GOV.UK Wallet sandbox. The GOV.UK Wallet sandbox lets Digital Verification Service (DVS) Providers create a test digital driving licence and save it to the GOV.UK Wallet test app.

The GOV.UK Wallet sandbox is run by the Government Digital Service (GDS). We want as many people as possible to be able to use it. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or device settings
  • zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of it using a keyboard or speech recognition software
  • listen to most of it using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
  • We’ve also made the text as simple as possible to understand.

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

    How accessible the GOV.UK Wallet sandbox is

    You might have difficulty using the GOV.UK Wallet sandbox if you’re using a screen reader because: 

  • headings are not read out in a logical order when you create a test digital driving licence
  • the different options to add a test digital driving licence to your test GOV.UK Wallet app are not announced 
  • If you’re using voice control, you might have difficulty revoking a test digital driving licence because you cannot easily select the field you need to fill in to complete this task.

    If you’re using an external keyboard and make a mistake, for example not filling in a field in a form, the focus will not always move to the error.

    If you find any problems not listed in this statement or think we’re not meeting accessibility requirements, contact [email protected]
