Accessibility Statement

We want everyone to be able to use this website, regardless of ability or the technology they use to access it. This statement explains the standard we design to, what we've built in to support that, and how to tell us if something isn't working for you.

Our accessibility standard

This site is designed and built to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. This statement reflects our design intent as the site is built and maintained; a formal, independent accessibility audit has not yet been carried out. If an audit is completed in future, we will publish the results and any known issues here.

What this means for you

In practical terms, working to WCAG 2.2 AA means we build the site so that you can:

  • Navigate entirely by keyboard. Every link, button, form field and interactive control on this site can be reached and operated using Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter and Space, without needing a mouse.
  • See a visible focus state at all times. When you tab between elements, the currently focused item is outlined clearly. We don't suppress or hide this outline.
  • Use a screen reader. Pages are built with semantic HTML landmarks (navigation, main content, footer), a single logical heading hierarchy starting at an h1, and descriptive link text, so the structure and content of a page can be understood without seeing it.
  • Skip straight to the main content. A "Skip to content" link is the first focusable element on every page, letting keyboard and screen reader users bypass repeated navigation.
  • Reduce or remove motion. If your operating system is set to reduce motion, animated elements on this site (including background effects and transitions) are automatically minimised or disabled.
  • Read text with sufficient contrast. Body text, headings and interactive controls are designed to meet WCAG AA contrast ratios (at least 4.5:1 for normal text) against their background, in both our dark and light themes.
  • Understand every image. Meaningful images carry descriptive alt text; purely decorative graphics are hidden from assistive technology so they don't add noise.
  • Resize text and zoom the page. Layouts are built with relative units so the site remains usable when you increase browser text size or zoom up to 200%.

Known limitations

We test this site as we build it, but no website is perfect, and third-party embeds or newly published content can occasionally fall short of this standard. No known accessibility issues have been identified at this time. If you find something that doesn't work for you, please tell us using the details below and we'll investigate.

Reporting an accessibility problem

If you have difficulty using any part of this website, or you use assistive technology and something doesn't work as you'd expect, please let us know. Tell us the page you were on, what you were trying to do, and the browser, device or assistive technology you were using, and we'll get back to you.

We aim to respond to accessibility reports within one business day.

Enforcement

This is a private commercial website rather than a public sector body, so it does not fall under the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018. We nonetheless treat WCAG 2.2 AA as our working standard and take reports of accessibility problems seriously.
