Accessibility statement
This page names our own failures rather than claiming a standard we have not been audited against. Here is what the site does well and the five things we know are still wrong.
Built in
Every page renders its full content on load. Nothing is hidden behind a scroll animation or a script that has to run first. If JavaScript fails, you still get the whole page.
Every figure, table and label on this site is selectable, searchable and readable by a screen reader. There are no numbers baked into pictures.
Body and label colours were checked against a 4.5:1 ratio. White text on our orange accent measured 2.55:1 and failed, so it is not used; the accent carries dark text on a light tint instead.
One h1 per page, headings in order, lists marked as lists, tables with real header cells, and breadcrumbs in a labelled nav element.
Navigation, the search form and every link work from the keyboard. The search field has a visible focus outline.
Layouts collapse to a single column rather than requiring horizontal scrolling, with the exception noted below.
Known problems
Naming these is more useful than a conformance badge.
Twelve columns of data cannot honestly collapse to one column, so on narrow screens the table scrolls horizontally. The per-government notes below the table carry the same information in prose, which is the accessible path, but the table itself is not good on a small screen.
The scorecard uses filled and empty squares, which works without colour vision, but the status bars on the project pages distinguish segments by colour with a text legend beside them rather than by pattern.
A keyboard user tabs through the full navigation on every page. This is a straightforward fix and it is not done yet.
The bars on the project pages carry their value as adjacent text, so the data is available, but the visual comparison itself has no text equivalent.
Everything above is our own assessment. If you use assistive technology and something here does not work, that finding is worth more than our review of ourselves. Tell us.
