Accessibility

We want The Charter to be readable by everyone, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation or high-contrast settings.

What we aim for

Our target is WCAG 2.1 level AA: sufficient colour contrast, text that resizes without breaking the layout, meaningful alt text on images that carry information, headings in a logical order, and full keyboard access to menus, search and forms.

What we are working on

• Reviewing contrast on small labels and captions.
• Adding alt text to older images published before this standard was applied.
• Checking that every interactive element can be reached and operated with a keyboard alone.
• Making sure embedded video has captions where the source allows it.
