Preparation of this accessibility statement
This statement was prepared on 07 March 2025. This statement was created on the inception of our new website.
The statement will be reviewed every 12 months from the date of preparation.
This statement replaces our previous non-compliant statement, which was only relevant to our previous website.
As part of the website build, our third-party supplier ensured that all aspects of the website's code and structure conformed to W3C AA standards. They conducted manual testing to ensure the following:
- Headings: implemented a clear and hierarchical structure using headings for content organisation and navigation. All pages will all display one active H1.
- Contrast Ratios: the visual presentation of text and images of text has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 on standard body content and 3:1 for large text (headings).
- Access Keys: the website's navigation incorporates access keys for users to access top level navigation items. Details of each access key are listed below.
- Image Alt Tags: all images output an image alt tag, as standard the website defaults the image alt tag to the file name but also provides an additional image alt tag field on each asset.
- Keyboard Navigable & Active Statuses: all clickable elements within the website are keyboard navigable and clearly indicate active states for interactive elements through an outline box around each element.
- Zoom Sizes: the website remains functional and maintains usability at 400% zoom including: vertical scrolling content at a width equivalent to 320px and horizontal scrolling content at a height equivalent to 256px.
- Form Labels: the ability to create clear and descriptive labels for form fields for ease of use. Form error messages are visible.
Additional testing was also done using Google's Lighthouse Accessibility tool across the key page types, and the third-party supplier aimed for 100/100.
We acknowledge the evolving nature of accessibility standards, and ongoing compliance may require periodic reviews and updates to align with the latest guidelines.
