2.21.1 WCAG 2.1.1 (A) - Desktop

The date picker is only accessible using the mouse and not the keyboard alone. Furthermore, as it is a required field, the user is unable to complete the task and therefore this part of the form is inaccessible for keyboard users.

This issue persists on the Enrolment page.

See Multiple elements not keyboard accessible (H) and Dashboard elements not keyboard accessible (H) for similar issues related to keyboard accessibility.

2.21.2 Recommendation

  • Ensure that all elements are keyboard accessible.
  • Give users the ability to type in dates manually.
