Filling in forms

When filling in any SGM online form we would recommend the following:

  • read all of the form carefully before attempting to complete the form,
  • when you do fill the form in you may find it more useful to turn Virtual PC Cursor off if you are using the screenreader JAWS version 3.3 or above,
  • once you have filled the form in, turn Virtual PC Cursor back on and check what you have entered - then submit the form
  • if you have problems dealing with forms online please contact SGM on the following number - 0800 432 0440.

SGM will continue to test future releases of this site and remain committed to maintaining its compliance with appropriate accessibility guidelines and serving the widest possible audience for our services.
