Accessibility Statement

1. Conformance Status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

2. Measures We Take

We take the following measures to ensure accessibility:

• ■ Semantic HTML: We use proper heading hierarchy, landmark regions, and semantic elements to ensure screen readers can navigate our content effectively.
• ■ Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements are accessible via keyboard. Focus indicators are visible for keyboard users.
• ■ Colour Contrast: We maintain a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text, meeting WCAG AA requirements.
• ■ Alt Text: All meaningful images include descriptive alternative text. Decorative images are marked appropriately so screen readers skip them.
• ■ Responsive Design: Our website adapts to different screen sizes and supports text resizing up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.
• ■ Form Labels: All form fields have associated labels, clear instructions, and accessible error messages.
• ■ Link Text: We use descriptive link text that makes sense out of context, avoiding generic phrases like "click here".

3. Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some areas may have limitations:

• ■ Some third-party content (such as embedded analytics dashboards or social media widgets) may not be fully accessible. We work with these providers to improve accessibility where possible.
• ■ Certain interactive data visualisations on our blog may be difficult to interpret with screen readers. We provide text summaries alongside all charts and graphs.
• ■ PDF documents linked from our site may not meet full accessibility standards. We are working to remediate existing documents.

4. Assistive Technologies

Our website is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

• ■ Screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack)
• ■ Screen magnification software
• ■ Speech recognition software (Dragon NaturallySpeaking)
• ■ Keyboard-only navigation
