Accessibility

What this site aims for, and where it currently falls short.

Last updated 1 August 2026

The target

This site targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA. That is a commitment to a measurable standard rather than a general intention to be accessible.

What is in place

  • Text colours are contrast-checked against the surfaces they appear on, and the measured ratios are documented rather than assumed. Body text sits at 14.8:1.
  • A skip-to-content link is the first thing keyboard users reach.
  • Every interactive element has a visible focus outline that is not colour-dependent.
  • Navigation and buttons meet the 44×44px target-size guideline.
  • Decorative motion is removed for visitors whose system requests reduced motion.
  • Links in body text are underlined, so link identity never depends on colour alone.
  • Pages are semantic HTML with labelled landmarks, and work without JavaScript.

Known gaps

Stated plainly, because an accessibility statement that claims full conformance is usually wrong:

  • The site has not yet been tested end-to-end with a screen reader by a person who uses one daily.
  • Automated and manual audits have covered the page shell and entry templates; the full set of entry pages has not been individually reviewed.
  • No formal third-party accessibility audit has been carried out.

Reporting a barrier

If something here is difficult or impossible for you to use, that is treated as a defect. Reports are welcome through the contact page and are acted on rather than logged.
