Accessibility statement
What we have done to make this site usable for everyone, what we know is imperfect, and how to tell us when we have got it wrong.
This site aims to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. It uses semantic HTML, keyboard-operable navigation, visible focus indicators, AA-compliant colour contrast and text that reflows to 320px without horizontal scrolling.
It also loads no external fonts, sets no cookies and shows no consent banner, all of which remove obstacles rather than adding them.
What we have done
- Semantic HTML5 landmarks — header, nav, main, footer — on every page
- A skip-to-content link as the first focusable element
- One h1 per page and a logical, unbroken heading hierarchy
- All navigation and interactive controls operable by keyboard alone
- Visible focus indicators that meet the AA contrast threshold
- Body and interface text meeting AA contrast ratios against their backgrounds
- Form fields with persistent visible labels, not placeholder-only labelling
- Errors announced to assistive technology, not signalled by colour alone
- Text reflows to 320px width without horizontal scrolling or loss of content
- Text scales to 200% without breaking layout or clipping content
- prefers-reduced-motion respected — all transitions disabled when it is set
- No autoplaying audio or video, and no time limits on any interaction
- Accordions built on native details and summary elements
- Data tables with proper scope attributes on row and column headers
- Decorative images given empty alt attributes so screen readers skip them
- A print stylesheet that strips navigation and preserves readable content
Known limitations
We would rather list these than claim perfection.
- Some photographs carried over from earlier versions of the site have decorative rather than descriptive alternative text. Where an image conveys information, that information is also present in the surrounding text.
- A small number of data tables are wide enough to require horizontal scrolling on a phone. They are marked up correctly with row and column headers, and the surrounding text states the key findings so the table is supplementary rather than essential.
- The fee comparison calculator uses range sliders. These are keyboard operable with arrow keys and their current values are announced as text, but a direct numeric entry alternative would be better and is on our list.
Design choices that help
This site loads no external fonts, which means text renders immediately in a typeface your own device already has and respects any font settings you have configured. It sets no cookies and runs no analytics, so there is no consent banner obstructing the page. It carries no autoplaying media, no animation that cannot be disabled and no time limits on any interaction.
If your operating system or browser is set to reduce motion, all transitions and animations are disabled automatically.

Standard and assessment
This site aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 at level AA. Assessment has been carried out internally through manual keyboard testing, colour contrast checking against the AA thresholds and structural review of headings, landmarks and form labelling. It has not been independently audited. This statement was prepared on 18 September 2026.
