Web Standards
Our website is developed using valid HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript to the standards laid out in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) – Level AA.
The website content works with assistive technologies that visitors might use, such as screen readers or text only browsers.
Auditing
We undertake accessibility audits of the platform before every major update using WCAG 2.1 AA standards which guide our long term audit and improvement plans.
What we do about known issues
We work to achieve and maintain WCAG 2.1 AA standards, but it is not always possible for all our content to be accessible. Where content is likely to create a barrier, we’ll state a reason, warn users and offer alternatives. Learn more about our known accessibility issues.
If we have failed to identify a barrier, please contact us.

Known Issues
As part of our commitment to improving accessibility, we publish all issues identified in our audits on this page.
Issue | Where is it found? | What we are doing about it |
Contrast errors | Button and footer links | We have implemented an accessibility toolbar to allow users to change the contrast of the site. |
Empty links | There are few empty links throughout the site which contain an image and no text. This is part of the base frame work of the system | We are investigating a way to amend these empty links without breaking the framework of the system. |
