Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what research has been undertaken on assisted technologies in conjunction with the use of gov.uk websites.

In May 2016 Government launched an online survey to understand which assistive technologies people use to access GOV.UK. We are using the survey results to help us decide which assistive technologies we will use to test GOV.UK. We will also use the results to help us decide which assistive technologies we will advise other departments to test with.

Details of this research, together with the broader work that GDS is undertaking to ensure that we are building inclusive digital services across GOV.UK, can be found on the GDS accessibility blog (accessibility.blog.gov.uk).
