Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
1. Form inputs without labels — Get Involved page
Two form fields on the Get Involved page (/get-involved/) do not have associated visible labels or accessible names. Users of screen readers cannot determine the purpose of these fields without independently identifying the surrounding context.
This fails WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (Level A) and WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (Level A).
We plan to fix this in a future scheduled website release.
2. Insufficient colour contrast — Event calendar date badges
On the Open Days & Events listing page (/open-days-events/), the month label displayed within event calendar badges uses white text on a red background (#ff004b). The contrast ratio is 3.92:1, below the required 4.5:1 for normal-sized text.
This fails WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) (Level AA).
We plan to fix this in a future scheduled website release.
3. Insufficient colour contrast — News article body links
On at least one news article page, hyperlinks within body content use a light blue colour (#6cc5fa) on a white background. The contrast ratio is 1.9:1, significantly below the required 4.5:1.
This text colour was applied within CMS-authored content rather than via a site-wide style rule. We are reviewing how content authors apply link colours.
This fails WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) (Level AA).
We plan to fix this in a future scheduled website release.
