Additional accessibility concerns from the GOV.UK Frontend codebase include:

1. The details component does not work well with Dragon and VoiceOver. This is not an issue with our details component, but is a known issue with the assistive technology and the `<details>` HTML element. Track our progress on the [GitHub issue: ‘Details component does not work well with Dragon and VoiceOver’](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/issues/3693).
2. [A bug within Dragon means no action is taken when trying to activate the file upload component](https://github.com/alphagov/reported-bugs/issues/35) through the command ‘click choose file’. This is a usability issue originating from the assistive technology. The team does not plan to fix this, as the assistive technology will need to resolve it.
