Using our documents
The Home Office publishes documents in a range of formats, including: PDF, Word, Excel, CSV, ODT and ODS.
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 (‘HTML’) 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’t see them can understand what they’re there for
avoid using tables, except when we’re presenting data
