Compliance Status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Non-Accessible Content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Non-Compliance with the Accessibility Regulations
Some images do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content).
Some plugin elements do not respond to text spacing adjustments with no loss of content or functionality, meaning users who need to adjust the text spacing may not be able to fully access these elements. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.12 (text spacing).
What We’re Doing to Improve Accessibility
- Future images will be added with relevant Alt text attributes. This will address WCAG success criteria 1.1.1 and 1.3.1.
- We will ensure all future plugins respond to text spacing adjustments. This will address WCAG success criterion 1.4.12.
