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

Web accessibility isn’t just an ethical duty – it’s good business December 10, 2020 | By Greg Dool – Independent Media Reporter@GregDool
The Covid-19 pandemic has shifted an ever-larger share of public life online. Unfortunately, however, the internet remains a largelyinaccessible place for people with visual or hearing impairments. As publishers rightfully aim to become more inclusive, the 61 million American adults with disabilities are an underserved group well worth remembering.
To overworked editors and designers, provisions for web accessibility can feel extraneous and opaque.
