We follow WCAG 2.1 AA standards as our baseline and continually review content and tools to maintain compliance.

How we support assistive technology

Our web content is tested with common screen readers and magnifiers to improve compatibility. We test keyboard-only workflows and use semantic markup to provide a reliable reading order. Where advanced interactive components are used, we add accessible labels and focus management to ensure that these features behave predictably for users relying on non-pointer input methods.

Limitations and ongoing work

Despite our efforts to meet WCAG 2.1 AA, some legacy content or third-party components may not yet conform fully. We maintain a prioritized remediation plan and welcome reports of accessibility barriers to guide our improvements. Regular audits and user testing help us identify areas for enhancement and track progress over time.
