Accessibility Statement

National Building Register (NBR) is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users. We are continually improving the user experience of our website and applying relevant accessibility standards to support inclusive access to information about building safety and compliance.

​

Conformance status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Our website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 AA. This means that some parts of the content do not yet fully meet the accessibility standard, but work is ongoing to address these areas.

​

Measures to support accessibility

NBR takes the following measures to support accessibility:

  • Use of semantic HTML and structured heading hierarchies

  • Clear and consistent navigation across pages

  • Text designed to meet colour contrast requirements

  • Keyboard navigability for core site functionality

  • Compatibility with modern screen readers and assistive technologies

  • Plain English content where possible

  • Ongoing review of layouts and components as the platform evolves

Accessibility is considered as part of design, content creation, and platform development.

​

Known accessibility limitations

Despite our efforts, some accessibility limitations may exist. These may include:

  • Older content or documents that are not fully optimised for assistive technologies

  • Third-party tools, embeds, or integrations that are outside our direct control

  • Certain interactive elements that may require further refinement

We are actively reviewing these areas and prioritising improvements where feasible.

​
