Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

We believe that all people should have equal access to information and the ability to engage with our services. We are committed to conforming to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as a baseline standard. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

Measures We've Taken

To support accessibility, we have implemented the following measures:

• All images include meaningful alternative text descriptions
• The website is navigable using a keyboard alone, without requiring a mouse
• We provide a "skip to main content" link at the top of every page
• Colour contrast ratios meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 AA requirements
• Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality
• Forms include clear labels, instructions, and error identification
• Pages use semantic HTML5 elements for clear document structure
• Interactive elements have clearly visible focus indicators
• Videos include captions where available
• We test regularly with screen readers including NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver

• Certain interactive data visualisations may have limited screen reader support
• Embedded third-party tools (such as maps or video players) are subject to the accessibility practices of their providers
