Accessibility Features

We are actively working to implement several features to ensure our website is accessible to as many users as possible:

  • Visible keyboard focus indicators to help keyboard-only users track their position on the page.
  • Screen reader compatibility, including proper use of landmarks, headings, and descriptive link text.
  • Alternative text for informative images, and empty alt attributes for decorative images.
  • Sufficient colour contrast for text and interactive elements to support users with low vision or colour blindness.
  • Semantic HTML and ARIA markup to support assistive technologies.
  • Logical tab order and properly labelled form fields to ensure a smooth navigation experience.
  • Print-friendly layout that removes unnecessary styling and navigation for ease of offline reading.

Known Limitations and Planned Improvements

We are aware of the following accessibility issues and are actively working to address them:

  • Pop-ups: Some dialogs do not receive keyboard focus or are not announced by screen readers
  • Forms: Certain forms are not fully navigable by keyboard, and error messages may not be announced
  • Main navigation: Inconsistent behaviour when used with a keyboard or screen reader
  • Focus Indicators: Some interactive elements lack visible focus styling.
