Enforcement procedure

However, we are committed to meeting the spirit of the regulations and maintaining a high level of accessibility for all users.
Technical information about this website’s accessibility
We are committed to making this website accessible, in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA standard.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:
1. Images
Some decorative or editorial images may be missing alt text. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.1.1 (Non-text Content). We are currently auditing all images to ensure descriptive text is provided or decorative images are marked appropriately.
2. Colour contrast
Some text and background colour combinations may not meet minimum contrast requirements, particularly on buttons or banners. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.4.3 (Contrast – Minimum). We’re reviewing our design system to improve contrast.
3. PDFs and documents
Some linked documents may not be fully accessible, especially if they were published before September 2025. This may affect users relying on screen readers. We aim to replace or provide alternative formats where possible.
We will address these issues during our next content update phase (Q4 2025).
