Accessibility

Sample content

[Draft wording for David to finalise before launch.]

We want everyone to be able to use this website. It has been built to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.

What that means in practice

You can use the whole site with a keyboard. There is a "Skip to main content" link at the top of every page.
Text has strong colour contrast, and you can enlarge it to 200% without losing anything.
Every image has a text description.
Almost all of the site works without JavaScript. The news filter and the menu button on small screens use it; without it you see every news story, and a link to the menu at the foot of the page. The contact form needs JavaScript, because its spam check does; without it the page gives our email address instead.
[To confirm: the contact form's spam check is provided by Cloudflare, which says that it meets WCAG 2.2 at level AA. Our own tests can't look inside it.]
Smooth scrolling is switched off if your device asks for reduced motion.

[To be completed after testing: what was checked, with which tools, and when.]

[List any known problems here, or say that none are known.]

[Wording to be confirmed: whether the PDF flyers meet the same standard, and how to ask for one in another format.]

If something on this site doesn't work for you, please tell us. Email [forum email address] or use the contact form.

[How quickly we aim to reply — to be confirmed.]
