Accessibility

Our target

We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. We have not commissioned an independent third-party audit, so we describe this as our target and our current verified state rather than as certification.

Verified today

• Every interactive control is reachable and operable with the keyboard alone, with a visible focus ring.
• A skip link on public pages jumps straight to the main content.
• Text and interface colours are chosen for WCAG AA contrast in both light and dark themes.
• Semantic landmarks and headings structure each page, and icons that carry no meaning are hidden from screen readers.
• Form fields have real labels, and validation messages are tied to their field so assistive technology announces them.
• Dialogs trap focus, close on Escape, and return focus to the control that opened them.
• The interface reflows without horizontal scrolling from 375px to 1440px wide.

Known gaps

• A full audit with screen readers other than the ones we test with (VoiceOver and NVDA) has not been completed.
• Long manuscript editing has not yet been tested end to end with a braille display.
• Some dense comparison tables are still easier to use with sight than by ear; a linearised view is planned.

Report a barrier

If something blocks you, tell us through the help page and describe the page, the assistive technology you use and what you expected to happen. Access issues are treated as defects, not enhancement requests.
