Accessibility Statement

Target standard

Build and review the public website against WCAG 2.1 AA contrast, keyboard navigation, focus states, labels, semantic headings and image alt text.

Forms and buttons

Use real labels, buttons and links rather than clickable decorative elements. Validation messages should be perceivable by assistive technology.

Ongoing review

Accessibility should be checked after design or content changes, not only at initial launch.

Feedback

The final statement should include an accessible method for visitors to report a barrier.
