1. Conformance status
This website is designed to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. WCAG defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. We continuously test the Site against these guidelines and remediate issues we find.
2. What we have built in
- Semantic HTML structure with proper heading hierarchy and landmark regions for screen readers.
- Skip-to-content link as the first focusable element on every page.
- Visible focus indicators on every interactive element, with a minimum 3:1 contrast against the surrounding background.
- All non-decorative images carry descriptive
alttext. Decorative images are markedaria-hidden. - Full keyboard support: every menu, modal, slider, and form is operable without a mouse.
- WCAG-aligned target sizes (minimum 44×44 px) on touch and pointer-coarse devices.
- Reduced-motion support: respects the
prefers-reduced-motionmedia query and disables non-essential animation. - Form labels, descriptions, and error messages associated with their inputs via
for/aria-describedby.
3. Tested with
- NVDA + Firefox (Windows)
- JAWS + Chrome (Windows)
- VoiceOver + Safari (macOS, iOS)
- TalkBack + Chrome (Android)
- Keyboard-only navigation across all evergreen browsers
- Axe DevTools, WAVE, and Lighthouse automated audits on every release
4. Known limitations
Despite our best efforts, some areas of the Site may not yet be fully accessible. The current open items are:
- Some embedded video content from third parties may not have synchronised captions in every language. We are working with our hosting provider to remediate.
- Older PDF reports published before 2024 may not be fully tagged for screen-reader use. Newer reports ship as accessible HTML alternatives.
- The interactive office map on the Contact page provides a list-based fallback below for users of assistive technology that cannot interact with the map widget.
5. Report a barrier
