You should be able to:

  • Post a job form mandatory fields - On the ‘Post job’ page the ‘Post a job’ form has mandatory fields. These are indicated by a text description e.g. 'Employer must be provided'. However these words e.g.‘Employer must be provided’ are not programmatically associated with the input fields. This means that if screen reader users who cannot see the screen navigate using the tab key to the input fields, which is a very common way of navigating for screen reader users, the screen reading software will not announce that the form control is mandatory.
  • Error and success messages not announced - Error messages are not being read alou dfor the posted job, edit opportunity details, name (when this is left blank an error message of 'Name is required' appears. On the post a job page, the error messages on th ejob closind date field and job go live date are in aria-live regions but they are not being read aloud because the page refreshes on submit.

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand. AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
