The College of Policing is committed to making its websites accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

The website and its associated content is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard.

How accessible the website is

  • some videos may not have captions

Content that's outside of the scope of the regulations

PDFs and other documents

The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services. Any new PDFs we publish will meet accessibility standards.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

  • The hierarchy of headings is being corrected
  • Reviewing PDFs
