This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the following issues:
The colour contrast used on some of our form labels is insufficient.
The <u> tag> is used to format text on some of our webpages.
WAI-ARIA attributes used on many of our webpages do not include all of the relevant page content.
Some of our link text is too generic for users of assistive technologies.
Some links are identified only by colour and do not have a contrast of 3:1 with surrounding text.
Many of the buttons on this website are marked up with <div> elements rather than HTML <button> elements. Meaning they may not be announced to users of assistive technologies.
The image used in our header does not have an alt attribute, meaning that users of assistive technologies may not be able to perceive it properly.
