What web accessibility is
An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.
Accessibility adjustments on this site
We have adapted this site in line with WCAG 2.1 guidelines and aim to meet level AA. The site's content has been adapted to work with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard navigation. As part of this effort, we have:
-
Used the Accessibility Wizard to find and fix potential accessibility issues
-
Set the language of the site
-
Set the content order of the site’s pages
-
Defined clear heading structures on all of the site’s pages
-
Added alternative text to images
-
Implemented color combinations that meet the required color contrast
-
Reduced the use of motion on the site
-
Ensured all videos, audio, and files on the site are accessible
Third-party content
Some pages include content that we do not own, such as embedded YouTube videos, PDF reports from partner organizations and links to external websites. The accessibility of this content depends on its owners, so we declare partial compliance for pages that contain it.
