Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) version 2.2 AA standard, due to the following non-compliances (and/or) the following exemptions.

Non-accessible content

The content is non-accessible for the following reason(s):

  • Page regions are not identified with ARIA landmarks: It has been identified that not all content is contained within landmarks. Specifically, the top navigation containing ‘Viewing as’ and ‘Sign out’, the ‘This site is private’ banner, the ‘Skip to main’ functionality and the ‘Is this page useful’ section are not contained within landmarks. Additionally, across multiple pages that include breadcrumbs, the breadcrumbs are not contained within a landmark.

It is vital that all page content is contained within appropriate landmarks. Otherwise, users who rely on landmark navigation may unintentionally skip or miss content that is not properly structured. (WCAG: 1.3.1)
