Accessibility statement
This website is built to WCAG 2.2 Level AA as its design and testing target. Full conformance is not claimed until an independent review has been completed.
What is in place
- Semantic structure: one heading per page level, landmarks, a skip link, breadcrumbs
- Keyboard access to every control, including the interactive 3D model (arrows rotate, + / − zoom, 1–4 focus a stage, 0 resets, Esc clears); visible focus indicators
- Text alternatives for images and a written description of the system diagram; labels on the 3D model are real buttons
- Colour contrast of at least 4.5:1 for text; information is never conveyed by colour alone
- Forms with visible labels, instructions, error messages tied to fields, and a status message announced to assistive technology
- Reduced-motion preferences respected: no auto-rotation or flow animation when your system asks for less motion
- Content reflows to a 320 px viewport without horizontal scrolling; wide tables and diagrams scroll inside their own container
Known limitations
- The 3D model requires WebGL; where it is unavailable, the static diagram and its text description are shown instead.
- PDF documents published before 2026 (press releases, policies, the 2022 presentation) were not produced to accessibility standards. Ask us for the information in another format.
- Testing so far has used automated checks and manual keyboard review in Chromium-based browsers. Screen-reader testing on other browsers is planned before public launch.
