Accessibility statement for the Office for National Statistics Developer Hub

This accessibility statement applies to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Developer Hub (developer.ons.gov.uk).

This website is run by the Office for National Statistics. It is designed to be used by as many people as possible. We have made the website text as simple as possible to understand. You should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
