Accessibility statement
Version 0.1 · Last updated
Draft for review before launch. Not yet in force.
In short
- This site targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA. It has not yet been independently audited.
- Every page works with a keyboard, without JavaScript, and with motion reduced.
- Evidence states are always written out, never shown by colour alone.
- Tell us about any barrier you meet, and we'll fix it or send you the content another way.
Our aim
This site targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA. It has not yet been independently audited.
What we've done
- Keyboard: links, buttons and forms work with a keyboard, focus is visible, and a skip link leads to the main content.
- Reduced motion: the site follows your device's reduced-motion setting, and the Motion switch in the menu and footer turns animation off on any device. Nothing takes over scrolling.
- No JavaScript needed: every page can be read, navigated and subscribed to with JavaScript turned off.
- Contrast: text colours are checked against the Level AA contrast ratios.
- Evidence states in words: OBSERVED, DERIVED, ESTIMATED and UNKNOWN are always written out, never shown by colour alone.
- Reflow: pages fit a screen 320 pixels wide without sideways scrolling.
- Print: pages have a print layout.
Known limitations
- The site hasn't yet been tested by hand with screen readers. Automated checks run on every page type, but they can't catch everything.
- The site hasn't been independently audited.
Report a barrier
If something on the site doesn't work for you, email {CORRECTIONS_EMAIL} with the page address and what happened. We'll reply within 2 working days. If we can't fix the problem quickly, we'll send you the content in another format.
