This website is run by Code Enigma. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. That means you should be able to:

- Alternative text on photographs don’t always provide accurate context

Technical information about this website’s accessibility
Code Enigma is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Current issues on our site that to do not comply with WCAG accessibility regulations
Serious
Elements must only use allowed ARIA attributes
Using an invalid role-attribute combination will, at best, result in no effect on the accessibility of the application and, at worst, trigger behaviour that disables accessibility for entire portions of an application. This doesn’t meet WCAG 4.1.2. The solution is to check (and where necessary, correct) each element with an ARIA role uses only ARIA attributes allowed for that role.
We plan to address the issue and make these changes live by December 2021.
Serious
Links must have discernible text
Users who rely exclusively on a keyboard (and no mouse) to navigate a webpage can only click on links that can receive programmatic focus. A link that cannot receive programmatic focus is inaccessible to these users. This doesn’t meet WCAG: 2.4.4, 4.1.2. The solution is to ensure all links can receive programmatic focus and are visible to screen readers.
We plan to address the issue and make these changes live by December 2021.
Serious
Elements must have sufficient color contrast
Some people with low vision experience low contrast, meaning that there aren't very many bright or dark areas. Everything tends to appear about the same brightness, which makes it hard to distinguish outlines, borders, edges, and details. Text that is too close in luminance (brightness) to the background can be hard to read. Insufficient contrast doesn’t meet WCAG 1.4.3. The solution is to ensure color contrast of at least 4.5:1 for small text or 3:1 for large text, even if text is part of an image. Large text has been defined in the requirements as 18pt or 14pt bold.
We plan to address the issue and make these changes live by December 2021.
How we tested this website
This website was last tested on August 18th 2021. The test was carried out by Code Enigma as part of internal auditing.
We used the following approach to decide on a sample of pages to test:
One of each content type, every list (Drupal View) generated in Drupal, Drupal specific pages, such as user, log in and error pages. Including any content pages which has notably different HTML structures, when this content is created by our editors, the URL gets added to the audit list and will become part of our regression testing.
We tested:
