Compliance status
The website has been tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to non-compliant issues listed below.
- Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children.
This relates to the sliders created by the website page builder where elements with list roles where the list items are contained within nested child elements. - Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination.
This issue is caused by multiple WordPress menu’s being included in the page (header, footer) - Links must be distinguishable without relying on color
This refers to the breadcrumb styling used on particular banners - ARIA role should be appropriate for the element
This error occurs with the embedded videos. The role is within the content loaded from the video stream provider, which we have no control over.
