Non accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:
Non compliance with the accessibility regulations
There exists a failure for WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.5.3 - Label in name.

There exists a failure for WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.6 - Contrast enhanced.
The non-conforming elements are date sensitive and will expire by October 2020. We will make sure that we meet the accessibility standards for the WCAG guideline 1.4.6 - Contrast enhanced.

Disproportionate burden
PDFs and other documents
Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how users can access our services, and forms published as Word documents. We plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
Live video
We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
