Context

DAC flagged a number of WCAG Level AAA accessibility issues on the website; we want to fix these to give our users a better experience.

Changes proposed in this pull request

  • Add error summary to the school change form

This was missing and picked up by the DAC accessibility report.

  • Update page title to be consistent with GOV services

The GOV.UK design system states that the title should be in the format:

Main heading - Service name - GOV.UK
  • Ensure back links appear above the main content

This was flagged by the DAC audit; the back links should not be part of the main content.

I think we could do a more comprehensive clean up of this but this is the easiest/least likely to break solution for now.

  • Update address inputs to match design system

Set the labels to match the design system, ensuring its clear to the user which are optional.

  • Reposition error summary above heading

As per the GOV.UK design system.

  • Make phone field input type tel

This will mean a numerical keyboard will be presented on mobile devices, which makes it easier to input.

  • Remove duplicate main elements

The application layout contains a <main> tag, so there's no need to have another in the views.
