Accessibility commitment
Accessibility is part of the website’s quality. The aim is to remove avoidable barriers and provide a practical alternative where a visitor can’t access information or complete an enquiry in the expected way.
The website is intended to remain usable with a keyboard, screen magnification, browser zoom, increased text size, reduced motion preferences and common screen-reader navigation.
Measures taken
The website includes:
- semantic headings, landmarks, lists, links, buttons and form controls;
- a skip link to the main page content;
- visible keyboard focus treatment;
- keyboard-operable navigation and form controls;
- responsive layouts that reflow for smaller screens;
- text and interface contrast considered as part of the design system;
- labels, instructions and accessible error messages on the enquiry form;
- server-side form validation that remains authoritative without JavaScript;
- reduced-motion handling for visitors who request it; and
- core content and navigation that work without JavaScript.
Target standard and current status
The website is designed and reviewed with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA as its target.
This target guides code review, automated checks, keyboard testing, responsive review and manual inspection. The website has not received formal third-party accessibility certification.
Known limitations
No specific accessibility barrier is currently documented on the public website, although testing can’t cover every combination of browser, device, operating system and assistive technology.
Cross-browser, real-device and assistive-technology review will continue as the website changes and as practical feedback becomes available.
Report any difficulty reading content, navigating the site or sending an enquiry. The issue will be considered directly and a practical alternative will be provided where reasonably possible.
Technical information
The website uses standards-based HTML, CSS, PHP and a small amount of vanilla JavaScript. JavaScript enhances parts of the enquiry form, but the main content, navigation and authoritative form validation do not depend on it.
The site’s intended for current versions of major browsers. Older browsers may reproduce some visual details differently, while the underlying information and essential actions are intended to remain available where reasonably possible.
Accessibility feedback and alternative formats
To report an accessibility problem or request information in a different format, use the accessibility contact on this page.
It is helpful to include:
- the page address;
- what you were trying to do;
- what went wrong; and
- the browser, device or assistive technology involved, if you’re comfortable providing that information.
Accessibility messages will normally be acknowledged within two working days. The time needed for a change will depend on the issue, and any available practical alternative will be considered at the same time.
Review of this statement
This statement will be reviewed after material changes to the website and whenever testing or reported experience shows that the published information needs to change.
