Our accessibility standards
This website has been designed and built to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA standards published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). WCAG 2.2 is the current international benchmark for web accessibility and is referenced by UK public sector accessibility regulations.
In practice, this means our website is compatible with screen readers and other assistive technologies, fully navigable using a keyboard without requiring a mouse, readable with browser text resizing up to 200%, designed with sufficient colour contrast between text and background, structured with clear headings and logical page hierarchy, and responsive across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
How we maintain accessibility
Accessibility is not a one-off exercise. We review this website regularly to identify and resolve any barriers that may arise as content is updated or new features are added. The site was tested against WCAG 2.2 Level AA criteria during development, and we conduct periodic checks to ensure continued conformance.
Third-party content
Some content on this website may be provided by third-party services, such as embedded maps or social media feeds. While we aim to ensure all content meets our accessibility standards, we cannot always control the accessibility of third-party components. We work with our technology partners to address any issues where possible.
