Your role at Defra

Tools and access

Tools, security and accessibility standards.

Tools

If your team intends to use Atlassian Jira and Confluence for work item management and documentation, read the guide on how to get a Jira and Confluence license (SharePoint).

Security clearance

If you hold a current security clearance and you wish to transfer it to Defra, contact the Defra Security Vetting team to request the transfer form.

Accessibility standards

Ensure you understand Defra’s accessibility standards when building or buying software.

Accessibility is not an optional Defra request; it is the law.
