How we test accessibility

This website is reviewed using a mix of automated checks and manual testing. Automated tools can identify many issues, but they cannot detect every accessibility barrier, so manual testing is also important.

Automated checks

  • WAVE/WebAIM browser extension checks on key templates and pages.
  • Browser audits during development and content updates.

Manual checks

  • Keyboard-only navigation using Tab, Shift + Tab, Enter and Space.
  • Visible focus indicators on links, buttons and form controls.
  • Heading structure and landmark/navigation order.
  • Form labels, instructions and error messages.
  • Zoom and reflow at 200%.
  • Colour contrast for key interface elements.

Known issues

We are not currently aware of any major accessibility issues on the pages tested. If you find a problem, please let us know so that it can be investigated and fixed.
