This accessibility statement applies to Police Service Northern Ireland website at URL: https://www.psni.police.uk/
 
This website is run by Police Service Northern Ireland . We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to: 

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts 
  • zoom in up to 400% 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) 
  • read most of the website on devices without a screen, like a braille computer 

There are many options for you to customise your web browser and device that could help you to navigate this and other websites more easily. If you have a disability, AbilityNet has helpful advice on how to make your device easier to use.

How accessible this website is

The majority of the website is highly accessible. The exception is that the header banners on some top level pages consist of text over images. If a light image is chosen there is a risk that the contrast against the text is not sufficient.
