# Accessibility issue

 * I’m running an accessibility report on the website and found that the two drop
   down options on the registration field, CCG and Job Role are flagging accessibility
   issues.
 * The description of the problem is that The label for the form control is not 
   explicitly connected to anything, since it refers to an element ID that does 
   not exist on the page.
 * Instructions on How to fix it: When using the ‘label’ it must be explicitly connected
   to a form control, such as an input field, a text field, a combo box, a radio
   button or a check box. Using standards like this helps user agent render content
   properly to the user.
 * This is only affecting the drop down fields, not the free text fields so I assume
   it’s a coding issue. The technique H44 – [https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/H44.html](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/H44.html)–
   from WCAG 2 is suggested to be used to meet the criteria.
 * The HTML flagged as a issue is
 * `<label for="job_role-7381" style>Job Role<span class="um-req" title="Required"
   style>*</span></label>`
 * Hope you can advise on how this can be fixed.
 * Thanks.
