Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Compliance status

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

We plan to add text alternatives for all images by April 2021. When we publish new content we’ll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards.

Some image copyright notices fail WCAG success criterion 1.4.3 (contrast minimum).

We plan to improve contrast and readability of image copyright notices by September 2021.

Disproportionate burden

There’s no way to skip the repeated content in the page header (for example, a ‘skip to main content’ option).

It’s not always possible to change the device orientation from horizontal to vertical without making it more difficult to view the content.

It’s not possible for users to change text size without some of the content overlapping.

Interactive tools and transactions

Some of our interactive forms are difficult to navigate using a keyboard. For example, because some form controls are missing a ‘label’ tag.

Our forms are built and hosted through third party software and ‘skinned’ to look like our website.
