Accessibility

Accessibility statement

What we have built for, what we have tested, and what we know is still outstanding.

Our target

This website is built to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. That is the standard we design and review against.

What we have done

  • Semantic HTML throughout, with real landmarks, headings in a logical order, and native controls in preference to ARIA.
  • A skip-to-content link as the first focusable element on every page.
  • Full keyboard operability, including navigation and the mobile menu.
  • A visible focus indicator on every interactive element, never removed.
  • Text and interface colors checked for contrast: at least 4.5:1 for text, and at least 3:1 for the boundaries of interactive components.
  • Color is never the only way information is conveyed.
  • While the online partnership form is closed, this site shows no forms. When it is open, it works by keyboard, every control has a real label, errors are announced and linked to their field, and a summary at the top links to each problem.
  • Buttons, menu items and form fields are at least 44 by 44 pixels. Links inside a sentence are as tall as the text.
  • Motion is minimal and respects the operating system reduced-motion setting. Nothing moves or auto-plays without being asked.
  • Zoom is not restricted, and layouts hold up at 400 percent.
  • Layouts are checked at 320px, 375px, 390px, 768px, 1024px, 1280px and 1440px, with no horizontal scrolling.

What we have not verified

This statement is honest about its limits

We would rather tell you what has not been checked than imply a level of assurance we cannot support.

  • No independent third-party accessibility audit has been carried out.
  • No formal testing with assistive technology users has been carried out.
  • Screen reader behavior has not been verified across every combination of reader and browser.
  • Where content is added by editors after launch, its accessibility depends on how it is written.

Known limitations

  • The pictures on this site are illustrations and field scenes, and their alternative text has not yet had an outside review.

Reporting a problem

If something on this site does not work for you, please tell us. It is useful, but not necessary, to include the page, what you were trying to do, and the browser or assistive technology you were using.
