Specify alternative text for images inside links - guidance for the The Office for Budget Responsibility website

What does this mean?

When an image is the only content of a link, it should specify alternative text, via an alt attribute. The alternative text should describe the purpose of the link.

More help

Without this, some users will be unable to determine what a link does, for example anyone using a screen reader.

To fix this, simply add an alt attribute to the image inside the link, e.g.:

<a href="/apple">
    <img src="apple.png" alt="Apple">
</a>
