Our commitment
We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 AA across the public pages and the authenticated dashboard. Accessibility is considered when we add new features and reviewed on an ongoing basis.
What we do
- Semantic HTML and appropriate heading structure.
- Visible keyboard focus states throughout.
- Sufficient colour contrast for body text and interactive controls.
- Text alternatives for meaningful images and icons.
- Forms with labelled fields, clear validation messages and error summaries.
- Responsive layouts that support zoom up to 200% without loss of content.
- Skip links and consistent landmark structure.
Known limitations
- Rich-text content submitted by users may contain formatting that does not meet AA (for example, images without alt text).
- Third-party embeds included in press releases may not meet the same standard as the platform itself.
- Some data-heavy admin tables are only partially optimised for screen readers.
