Description

The accessibility considerations section of the sign in alert guidance appears to be a duplicate of the guidance on the main Alert page. By duplicating content on both pages, there is a risk of inconsistent guidance when changes are made over time in one place but not the other.

Recommended action

Link from the sign-in page to the alert page for accessibility guidance, and only have guidance unique to the sign-in alert in the accessibility section of the sign-in alert page.
