Accessibility of the website
We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible and have listed the issues according to level of impact, from high to low:
Higher priority issues
- Part of the header is cut off when the page is subject to reflow settings, meaning some functionality is lost
Lower priority issues
- The search field has no label associated with it, but the title attribute provided will be used by some assistive technology
- Text and non-text contrast is insufficient in some areas due to a background with varying colour
- Keyboard focus does not start at the top of the page when it loads, this may cause confusion for some users
