Accessibility

We want the research here to be usable by everyone. We target WCAG 2.2 AA and treat accessibility as ongoing work, not a finished checkbox.

This is draft content provided for transparency and requires legal review before it is relied upon.

Our target

We target WCAG 2.2 AA across the site. We do not claim full compliance until it has been independently verified.

What we implement

Semantic landmarks and heading order, a skip-to-content link, full keyboard navigation with visible focus, status conveyed by text rather than colour alone, sufficient contrast in both themes, reduced-motion support, accessible tables and forms, and support for 200% zoom and responsive long-form reading.

Testing

Automated accessibility checks (axe-core) run against representative pages on desktop and mobile as part of our test suite, and the build fails on any serious or critical violation.

Known limitations

Automated testing does not catch everything, and some long-form or imported content may fall short. We treat accessibility as continuous improvement.

Report a barrier

If you encounter a barrier, please contact us describing the page and the problem, and we will address it.
