Status of Compliance
These web pages are partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 (as of 15 May 2025).
Our most recent audit showed an accessibility compliance rate of 82%. A total of 5 errors and 4 warnings were identified, which are currently being addressed.
The following issues were found:
Level A:
Use of Colour (SC 1.4.1): Some links rely solely on colour for identification, without additional indicators such as underlining.
Info and Relationships (SC 1.3.1): Heading hierarchy is not consistently applied in all areas (e.g. an H4 follows an H2 without an H3).
Name, Role, Value (SC 4.1.2): Two elements share the same ID attribute.
Level AA:
Contrast (SC 1.4.3): In some areas, the contrast ratio between text and background is only 4.0:1 instead of the required 4.5:1.
Text Spacing (SC 1.4.12): Text spacing cannot be increased by users in all areas without causing content to become hidden or unreadable.
We aim to achieve full WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by 28 June 2025.
