Accessibility

Standard

This website aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.

What has been done

• Pages use semantic HTML, with a logical heading structure, landmarks and a link to skip to the main content. Every page of a section lists the section’s other pages, and its own sub-sections.
• Everything can be operated with a keyboard, including the interactive contextual diagram. Use Tab to reach it, the arrow keys to move between layers, and Home and End to move to the first and last.
• The markers of the project map are links, reachable by keyboard, and the list of places beside the map gives the same information as text.
• Text and interface colours meet WCAG AA contrast requirements. The palette’s lightest greys are used only for rules and drawings, never for small text.
• Images and drawings have text alternatives, and every diagram is accompanied by the same information as text.
• Motion is minimal, and transitions are switched off when your system asks for reduced motion.
• Text can be enlarged to 200% without loss of content, and layouts adapt to small screens.
• The site works without JavaScript. Interactive features, such as search, filters and the diagram, enhance content that is already in the page.

Known limitations

• Linked external documents, such as newspaper articles, publisher pages and PDFs, are outside our control and may not meet the same standard.
• The editorial interface used by editors is third-party software (Decap CMS) and is not covered by this statement.

Preparation of this statement
