This website is tested monthly. The test is carried out by Silktide.
The approach has been to investigate a small representative selection of page types from the website using a manually run WCAG 2.1 compliant evaluation tool, and methodically resolve any issues. Issues causing the greatest impact have been prioritised.
We intend to work towards WCAG2.1 AA compliance – and where feasible AAA compliance – by incrementally resolving issues as the number of pages investigated increases.
In time, we hope to be in a position where WCAG 2.1 evaluations are regularly scheduled and include all pages.
