Standard we aim for
The site is designed to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA, the standard referenced by EN 301 549 and the European Union (Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications of Public Sector Bodies) Regulations 2020.
What the site is designed to support
- Navigate with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus indicator
- Skip to the main content from the top of every page
- Use a screen reader: pages have landmarks, one main heading and labelled form fields
- Zoom to 400% without losing content
- Turn off animation: the site follows your “reduce motion” setting
- Use the list of study sites instead of the map, with the same information and coordinates
Known limitations
- The map itself (from OpenStreetMap) has limited screen reader support. The list next to it has the same information.
- Some older PDF reports may not be fully tagged. Ask us for an accessible version.
- Embedded videos rely on YouTube’s player and captions.
How we tested
Automated checks with axe-core and Lighthouse on every page template, and scripted tests of the forms (error messages, focus). No manual screen-reader audit or testing with disabled users has been carried out yet for this demonstration.
