Accessibility statement for Find Pension Contact Details
This website is run by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP). We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
- change colours, contrast levels and fonts
- zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
- listen to the website using a screen reader (including the most recent version of JAWS)
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
The accessibility of this website
We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible when using certain accessibility tools:
- the text attached to all the radio buttons is read out twice when using magnification and reading software
- the descriptive text for both radio buttons on the ‘What type of pension are you looking for?’ page, is not read out when using magnification and reading software
- the first radio button title ‘Workplace pension’ on the ‘What type of pension are you looking for?’ page, is also read out for the second radio button title ‘Personal pension’, when using magnification and reading software

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
Not every script passes on the assistive technology tool scripts in DAC09. This fails the WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 and 3.3.5.
