Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps he is taking to improve the accessibility of gov.uk services for users of assistive technologies; and if he will take steps to require (a) jobcentre staff and (b) all employers to access training on assistive technologies.

DWP is constantly working to improve the accessibility of DWP gov.uk services for users of assistive technologies.

Colleagues will follow a formal DWP Digital Accessibility Policy from summer, which sets out the standards product teams must adhere to when creating new products or updating existing products.

In addition to this, training and consultancy is provided for product teams, to enable them to create accessible content and test it with assistive software.
