Accessibility

We want everyone to be able to use this website, including people who use assistive technology.

Our approach

We design and test this site against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA, as our working standard. In practice that means:

  • semantic page structure with a logical heading order and a skip link;
  • every function available from the keyboard, with a visible focus indicator;
  • text and controls with sufficient color contrast, and no information shown by color alone;
  • form fields with labels, clear error messages, and status updates announced to screen readers;
  • layouts that work when text is enlarged and on narrow screens, and respect for reduced-motion settings.

We check pages with automated tools and with manual keyboard and screen-reader testing. Automated tools find only some problems, so we don't treat a clean automated result as proof that a page is accessible.

Tell us about a barrier

If something on this site is hard to use, please tell us what page you were on and what happened. We will reply and work on a fix, and we can provide the information in another format in the meantime.
