Accessibility statement

This accessibility statement applies to the MoJ Forms application at moj-forms-editor.service.justice.gov.uk (the "editor"). It does not apply to the MoJ Forms product site or any form built using the editor, which have their own accessibility statements.

Using this application

The MoJ Forms editor is run by the MoJ Forms team at the Ministry of Justice (MoJ). 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
  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate the editor using just a keyboard
  • navigate the editor using speech recognition software
  • listen to the editor using a screen reader (including recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We have 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.

Workaround for speech recognition software users

When creating a form, speech recognition software users may need to use general terms like, 'press tab', 'click link' or 'show numbers' to find areas of the page that are hidden from view, like menus or icons that display menus, or the editable content areas within the specific page.

How accessible this application is

We know some parts of the editor are not fully accessible:

  • Some users may find it difficult to navigate between the flow view and individual pages of a form.
  • The page used to create and manage branching is not fully accessible to voice activation users. It may also hinder users with cognitive, language and learning disabilities. In addition, it does not correctly indicate when changes are saved.
  • Some validation error messages may not be announced or read out correctly by screen readers.

Feedback and contact information

If you have problems using the editor or need additional support, contact the MoJ Forms team at contact-moj-forms@digital.justice.gov.uk.

We'll consider your request and get back to you in 3 working days.

Technical information about this online form's accessibility

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

Compliance status

The MoJ Forms editor is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

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

  • In the form used to create and manage branching, some of the accessible labels are different to the visible labels. This fails WCAG 2.5.3 Label in Name.
  • In the form used to create and manage branching, several fields lack a visible label. This fails WCAG 3.3.2 Labels or Instructions.
  • When errors are displayed in branching or in a modal, error text is not announced to screen reader users. The page title is not always updated to prefix with 'Error: '. This fails WCAG 3.3.1 Error identification.
  • On the branching page, when selecting Save there is no feedback as to whether the form has been saved. This fails WCAG 4.1.3 Status messages.
  • When creating or editing a page, a user can only go back using the browser back buttons. This fails WCAG 2.4.5 Multiple ways.

What we're doing to improve accessibility

We plan to review and address the issues highlighted above in 2026 and commission a full external audit of our accessibility in 2027.
