Technical Information about this Website's Accessibility

Links

Some links don’t make sense when read on their own (for example 'here' or 'click here'). On some pages the same link text is used for links going to different destinations, so people might not know the difference. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.4 (link purpose - in context).

Some of our link buttons have insufficient colour contrast between the link text and the background. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.3 (contrast - minimum).
