Submitted by Rebecca.Pearso… on
Can the purpose of each link can be determined from the link text, or from the link text together with its surrounding context?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
Can keyboard focus be moved to all page elements?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes: Assumed that it is appropriate that non-linked headers cannot be focused on by keyboard navigation
If moving keyboard focus away from a component requires more than arrow or tab keys, is this clearly indicated on the page?
Answer: Not Applicable
Score: -1
Notes: Within sample Tab and Arrow keys were enough to get to all interactive components.
Is default keyboard navigation order logical and intuitive, following the visual flow of the page as described above?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes: Between the navigation an the footer the page is often divided into columns. This follows the logical path of left-most column from top to bottom before moving to the next column to the right.
When using a keyboard to navigate the interface, is the keyboard focus indicator visible?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
Does all interactive functionality work via keyboard, and does it behave consistently and as expected?
Answer: Always

Notes:
Does focus order move sequentially across form fields?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
Are there skip links (either visible or invisible)?

Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes: Only way they are accessible when they are included on this eresource.
Do anchors (link destinations) appear at the beginning of the relevant content?
Answer: Never
Score: 0
Notes: After pressing enter on a skip link, tab must be pressed again for the focus to reappear and there is no visual indication for what that focus will be.
Do skip navigation controls appear in the same place on every page?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes: If they are included at all it is in the same place on every page within the sample.
Does the reader capture accurate information as it appears in the table and the columns and rows?
Answer: Not Applicable
Score: -1
Notes: Tables inserted as images if viewable in the record. Not readable.
Does the screen reader successfully navigate from one frame to another?

Does each frame have a meaningful title that tells the user the purpose of the frame?
Answer: Not Applicable
Score: -1
Notes: No frames used within sample.

Answer: Not Applicable
