Accessibility Statement

Our approach

This site aims to meet the WCAG 2.2 Level AA success criteria. Accessibility is treated as part of the build rather than an add-on: the layout is plain HTML, the colour system carries contrast ratios designed for body text at long reading lengths, and every interactive control is reachable and operable with a keyboard alone.

What is in place

• Semantic landmarks and headings, so screen readers can jump between navigation, main content and footer.
• A visible skip link to the main content as the first focusable element on every page.
• Visible focus outlines on all links, buttons, form fields and the navigation menu, at every zoom level.
• A responsive layout that reflows to a single column on narrow viewports and at 200 percent browser zoom.
• Menus and disclosures built as native HTML elements, so they work without JavaScript.
• Emoji and decorative graphics marked as decorative where they carry no information.
• Text alternatives on informative images, and empty alternatives on purely decorative ones.

Known limitations

• Some data tables are wide. They scroll horizontally on small screens rather than collapsing into cards, which can be awkward with a screen reader on a phone.
• The step-by-step instructions describe actions on Android, Android TV and Windows settings screens that are themselves outside our control and vary between device manufacturers.
• Third-party services referenced by name, such as emulators and the Downloader app, have their own accessibility behaviour that we cannot assess or change.
