Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

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

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

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

Navigation and accessing information

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.

Preparation of this accessibility statement

This statement was prepared on 26 September 2020. It was last reviewed on 27 April 2021.

CAAT would not exist without its supporters. Each new supporter helps us strengthen our call for an end to the international arms trade.
