This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, specifically: 

  • 1.1.1 Non-Text Content: we have provided text alternatives for non-text content that serves the same purpose.
  • 1.2.1 Audio-Only and Video-Only: we have provided an alternative to video-only and audio-only content.
  • 1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded): we have provided captions for videos with audio.

  • 1.2.5 Audio Description (Pre-Recorded): we have provided audio descriptions for pre-recorded videos where the visual aspect is not explained in the dialog of the video.
  • 1.3.1 Info and Relationships: Content, structure and relationships can be programmatically determined on forms and lists.
  • 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence: we have presented content in a meaningful order and have ensured that content presented on the page is logical & intuitive. We have used headings, lists, paragraphs etc to mark our content and have made sure our users can differentiate the navigation menus from main content.
  • 1.3.3 Sensory Characteristics: we have ensured instructions don’t rely solely on sensory characteristics.
  • 1.3.4 Orientation: our website adapts to portrait and landscape views.
  • 1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose: we have ensured input fields must be programmatically determinable i.e we have used appropriate token values while using autocomplete attributes
  • 1.4.1 Use of Colour: we don’t use presentation that relies solely on colour on our website. Instructions are provided in text for graphs and charts where colour is used to convey information.
  • 1.4.2 Audio Control: audio does not play automatically.  Don’t play audio automatically if possible. If audio is more than 3 seconds we provide a pause/stop or a mechanism to control the audio player volume from the overall system volume.
  • 1.4.3 Contrast Minimum: the contrast ratio between text and background is at least 4.5:1.
  • 1.4.4 Resize Text: website text can be resized to 200% without loss of content or function.
  • 1.4.5 Images of Text:  we don’t use images of text.
  • 1.4.10 Reflow: our content retains meaning and function without scrolling in two dimensions. We have used Responsive Web Design (RWD) from the conception of design itself.
  • 1.4.12 Text Spacing: the website  content and function retain meaning when users change elements of text spacing.
  • 1.4.13 Content on Hover or Focus: when hover or focus triggers content to appear, it is dismissible, hoverable and persistent.
  • 2.1.1 Keyboard: all functionality is accessible by keyboard with no specific timings.
  • 2.1.2 No keyboard Trap: users can navigate to and from all content using a keyboard.
  • 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks: we provide a way for users to skip repeated blocks of content e.g. we provide a skip link on top of the page to skip navigational menus.
  • 2.4.2 Page Titles: we ensure we have helpful and clear page titles.
  • 2.4.3 Focus Order: Our web components receive focus in a logical sequence. We have aligned the focus order with the reading order as much as possible in order to maintain a logical and intuitive navigation of the content. 
  • 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context): Every link’s purpose is clear from its text or context e.g. we have avoided ambiguous links like “here” or “click here”
  • 2.4.5 Multiple Ways: we offer at least two ways to find pages on our website. Breadcrumbs work if the users want to go back in a process or a layered structure. Search function is the most powerful to achieve faster navigation. Menus are the most straightforward way of finding content. 
  • 2.4.6 Headings and Labels: headings and labels describe topic or purpose and follow a sequential order to avoid confusion.
  • 2.4.7 Focus Visible: keyboard focus is visible when used. Browsers handle the visible focus for active elements. When the user is navigating through the page using the keyboard, visible focus moves along for every element presented on the page.
  • 2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (Minimum): when a user interface component is selected, the focus indicator encompasses the visual presentation of the component, maintains a contrast ratio of at least 3:1 between its pixels in focused and unfocused states, and ensures a contrast ratio of at least 3:1 against adjacent colours.
  • 2.5.3 Label in Name: where a component has a text label, the name of the component also contains the text displayed.
  • 2.5.8 Target Size (Minimum):  we have ensured the target of any UI element has 24 by 24 CSS PX target size or there is enough spacing provided between two targets that have undersize targets.
  • 3.1.1 Language of Page: Each webpage has a default human language assigned.
  • 3.2.1 On Focus: elements do not change when they receive focus.
  • 3.2.2 On Input: elements do not change when they receive input. We provide a submit button for all forms and ensure that control of how data is populated is in the hands of our users.
  • 3.2.3 Consistent Navigation:  we have positioned menus and standard controls consistentlyAll the standard elements like logo, search functionality, and skip links etc are represented in the same location on all pages.
  • 3.2.4 Consistent Identification: components with the same function are identified consistently e.g. Facebook, YouTube etc.
  • 3.3.1 Error Identification: we identify and describe input errors for users. We do not just use colour or visual cues to point out form errors.
  • 3.3.2 Labels or Instruction: we provide labels or instructions for user input using a webform module e.g. we provide group level labels and associate them with the group of form fields where the user input is required in more than one field like phone number or credit card number
  • 3.3.3 Error Suggestion: We suggest corrections when users make mistakes, using a webform module.
  • 3.3.7 Redundant Entry: we use autofill form- fields that repeat across steps so that users can select the information that they previously entered
  • 3.3.8 Accessible Authentication (Minimum): Users are able to access authentication methods using only a keyboard. This means that the authentication process should not require the use of a mouse or other pointing device.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible and for the following reason(s):

  • 1.4.3 Contrast Minimum: Our website passes colour contrast checks. Where browsers do not support or provide zoom functionality (IE6 as an example), we have not provided alternative CSS for scaling purpose as all supported browsers now have zoom functionality
  • 1.4.11 Non-Text Contrast: the contrast between user interface components, graphics and adjacent colours is at least 3:1 ie ensure parts of graphs and charts where color is the only way to decipher the information, the contrast ratio is met against adjacent colours and ensure appropriate color combinations are chosen and defined for UI elements and other graphical objects in the style guides and the design documents in order to avoid uncomfortable retrofitting. We did not find any instances of that but it may appear within documents. 
  • 2.1.2 No keyboard Trap: we have ensured users can navigate to and from all content using a keyboard but cannot vouch that all our third party widgets are accessible. We have not used single character key shortcuts but the user has the ability to focus on all interactable features. 
  • 2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide : We have avoided moving, blinking scrolling content. Therefore pause, stop or hide buttons are not required as there is no parallel content.
  • 2.3.1 Three Flashes or Below:  currently, none of our content flashes more than three times per second. Therefore we have not used PEAT (Partnership on Employment & Accessible Technology) to confirm if the flashing content passes this check point.
  • 2.5.1 Pointer Gestures: multi-point and path-based gestures can be operated with a single pointer. This is not relevant as we do not use these tools
  • 2.5.2 Pointer Cancellation: functions don’t complete on the down-click of a pointer. This is not relevant as we do not use these on our website.
  • 2.5.4 Motion Actuation: functions operated by motion can also be operated through an interface and responding to motion can be disabled, but we do not use these functions on our website.
  • 2.5.7 Dragging Movements: all functionality that uses a dragging movement for operation can be achieved by a single pointer without dragging, unless dragging is essential or the functionality is determined by the user agent and not modified by the author. This is only relevant to the website editor. Everything is possible by a single click for the user.
  • 3.1.2 Language of Parts: each part of a webpage has a default human language assigned. We have French content but do not have a a multilingual site so accessibility language codes are not loaded into the website
  • 3.2.3 Consistent Navigation: While our main website positions menus and standard controls consistently and we present the navigational menus in the same order on all pages, navigation is different on sub-sites such as en-net and some network pages.
  • 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value: this ensures that the name and role of user components can be understood by technology e.g. use WAI-ARIA attributes while constructing custom component widgets. However we do not such widgets on the site
  • 4.1.3 Status Messages: make sure that all messages indicating success or errors are read out by a screen reader. This does not happen on our website but we ensure that focusable messages are not considered as status messages.
