The standard we build to
The website is designed and tested to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.
Features
- One main heading per page and a logical heading order, so pages can be skimmed with a screen reader
- A “skip to main content” link and labelled navigation areas
- A clearly visible focus outline for keyboard users
- Colour contrast that meets WCAG requirements; the brand’s bright aqua is used for lines and accents, not for text on white
- Large tap targets for links and buttons
- Questions and answers in expandable sections that work with a keyboard and screen reader
- Forms with visible labels, hints, an error summary and messages linked to each field
- Wide tables that can be scrolled with the keyboard
- Text, not images, for all content, and plain English throughout
- Respect for the reduced-motion setting on your device
Every page is checked with automated accessibility testing at desktop and mobile widths. A manual keyboard and screen-reader check will be completed before the website is published.
Known limitations
Some of the documents we link to, such as guideline PDFs from other organisations, may not be fully accessible. If you cannot use one, contact us and we will help you find the information another way.
Language help
