How accessible this website is

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

  • the cookies icon does not reflow with the page and so can block important information when the page is zoomed in
  • the user cannot access the ‘analytical cookies’ slider on the cookies notice on the home page with a keyboard
  • after the user tabs from ‘reject all’ on the cookies notice, it is unclear where the user is as nothing receives focus nor is actionable

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

  • The cookies icon does not reflow with the page and so can block important information when the page is zoomed in. This doesn’t meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.10 (reflow).

This functionality is provided by a third party and an alternative solution is currently being researched. We aim to have this in place by the end of 2020.
  • After the user tabs from ‘reject all’ on the cookies notice, it is unclear where the user is as nothing receives focus nor is actionable. This doesn’t meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.1.1 (keyboard). This functionality is provided by a third party and an alternative solution is currently being researched.
