Screen readers can struggle to read out tables sensibly, so it is often better to use alternative mark-up and CSS to layout content. Try disabling the table mark-up to see if it still makes sense. See WCAG 2.1 Failure F49.               <table width="97%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

Associate form controls with <label> tags, or use the 'aria-label' or 'aria-labelledby' attributes to label controls where it might be confusing or not possible to use a label.

 115               If decisions are made e.g. about an activity, that children or young people express concerns
                   about or disagree with, staff should do all they can to ensure that a reasonable explanation is
                   given, and that children/young people have the opportunity to opt out or be engaged in a
                   different activity - if it is possible for them to do so.
 115             </p>
 116             <p>
 116               This includes decisions about routine activities, such as meal preparation or bedtimes; children
                   and young people should have the opportunity discuss how decisions are made about these and
                   other routines on a regular basis, and to make suggestions for change.

 117             <p>
 117               At all times, staff should avoid matters or concerns being escalated or becoming complaints, but
                   should children and young people continue to be dissatisfied, they should be given the
                   opportunity to make an Informal or Formal Complaint - as set out below.

 121               A complaint is an expression of dissatisfaction, however made, about the standard of service,

 121             </p>
 122             <p>
 122               A complaint should normally be made where all other reasonable methods of resolving the
                   dissatisfaction have been tried and failed or where the complainant believes they would fail.

 144               Children will be informed about the Complaints Procedures in a variety of ways; including the
                   Children's Guide given to them before or upon admission. This must be in a format that the child

 146             <p>
 146               Homes Managers must take all reasonable steps to ensure that children feel comfortable with the
                   making of comments or complaints, they are enabled to make a complaint or representation and are
                   free from reprisals if they choose to do so.

 147               Complainants should be given any reasonable assistance they require or request, including being
                   advised that they may ask someone else to make the complaint on their behalf.
 147             </p>
 148             <p>
 148               They will also be given information and contacts details of Advocates they may contact, who may

 155             <p>
 155               When children indicate they wish to make a complaint, the person receiving it should do what
                   they reasonably can to ensure that all other resolutions available have been tried, rather than
                   resorting to the making of a complaint.
 155             </p>
 156             <p>
 156               Where a person insists that they wish to make a complaint, staff or managers in the home
                   concerned should still deal with the matter, if appropriate. If a complaint is made about the
                   manager of the home or another person in Line management, it should be passed to a manager
                   outside of the Line Management Structure. No person who is the subject of a complaint will take
                   any part in its consideration, other than at the local resolution stage (Stage 1), if
                   appropriate.
 156             </p>
 157             <p>
 157               If they wish to do so, complainants may direct their complaints to others outside the home, such
                   as the Independent Advisor or Designated Manager (Complaints). They may also direct their
                   complaints to the Regulatory Authority or the Placing Authority.
 157             </p>
 158             <p>
 158               Complaints should preferably be put into writing, in a letter or using a Complaints Form; but
                   other methods may be used, including the use of audio tapes or verbally.
 158             </p>
 159             <p>
 159               If assistance is provided to complainants in recording or writing their complaints, the
                   record/letter should indicate the name, status and contact details of the person providing the
                   assistance.

 168                 Note the fact that a complaint was made and resolved in the home's Daily Log, record a summary

                     Daily Record of any relevant child. The Line Manager must confirm in writing to the
                     complainant the agreed resolution;

 169               <li>
