Limitations and alternatives

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of CaseworkER, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations, and potential solutions. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed below.

Known limitations for CaseworkER:

1. User-generated documents and document templates: Documents and document templates created in CaseworkER may not comply with WCAG requirements because we cannot ensure the quality of this user-generated content. Whilst this content is viewable and editable within the application, the content of the document templates and documents is not strictly “web content” and is intended for use in a word processor application or in printed format. As an alternative, if users who rely on assistive technologies are unable to use this feature they can use a word processor and upload the documents into CaseworkER.
2. Interactive dashboard charts: The dashboard charts presented in CaseworkER dashboard are interactive (SVG) images containing text, ordinarily users are able to click on these charts to navigate to different parts of the application, this is purely for convenience, for example clicking a chart might take the user to a pre-filtered list of cases. In some circumstances (depending on the assistive technologies in use) users may find that they are unable to view or interact with these charts, however they are able to navigate to the underlying pages and fully interact with them, for example applying the filters to a list of cases to see the same information that is ordinarily available in the chart.

Assessment approach

• Self-evaluation
