Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 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 accessibility regulations

Some buttons do not have an accessible name. This may affect screen reader users because the purpose of the button may not be announced. This relates to WCAG 2.2 success criterion 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value.

Some links do not have accessible link text. This may affect people using screen readers or voice control because the destination or purpose of the link may not be clear. This relates to WCAG 2.2 success criterion 2.4.4 Link Purpose and 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value.

Some navigation elements use incorrect semantic roles. This may affect screen reader users because menu structure may not be announced correctly. This relates to WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.3.1 Info and Relationships and 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value.

Some pages contain duplicate ID attributes. This may affect assistive technologies where labels, controls or scripts rely on unique identifiers.

Some text and interface elements may not have enough contrast against their background. This may affect people with low vision or colour vision deficiency. This relates to WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.4.3 Contrast Minimum.

Some embedded videos or third-party content may not be fully accessible. We are reviewing embedded content and will provide accessible alternatives where possible.
