2. Conformance status

This website has been developed to conform to WCAG 2.1 level AA. We review the pages regularly and fix any issues found.

3. What has already been done

• A dedicated version for people with visual impairments: four high-contrast colour schemes, text enlargement up to 150 %, increased letter spacing, a serif typeface, and the option to switch off images and animations.
• Full keyboard navigation, a clearly visible focus indicator on every interactive element and a “Skip to main content” link.
• Semantic HTML5 markup, ARIA landmarks, a correct heading hierarchy and text alternatives for meaningful images.
• Text contrast of at least 4.5 : 1 and at least 3 : 1 for large text.
