Accessibility statement

Our commitment

Accessibility is treated as part of the build, not as a pass at the end. Every release of this site goes through an accessibility check before it ships, and an interface that fails it does not ship.

We would rather hear about a barrier than assume there is none. If something here blocks you, tell us and we will fix it and say when.

Conformance status

This website aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA, the standard referenced by the European accessibility standard EN 301 549.

We consider the site substantially conformant: it meets the level AA criteria across the pages we have tested, with the exceptions listed below under known limitations. We say substantially rather than fully because no automated check can prove conformance, and we have not yet commissioned an independent audit.

What we have built in

• A skip link and proper landmark regions, so a keyboard or screen-reader user can reach the main content immediately.
• Full keyboard operation: every menu, panel, dialog and form control can be reached and used without a mouse, with a visible focus indicator throughout.
• Dialogs and overlays that trap focus while open, close with Escape, return focus to the control that opened them, and mark the content behind them as inert.
• Respect for the reduced-motion setting of your system: animation and smooth scrolling are switched off, and the homepage hero falls back to a still image instead of playing video.
• Colour contrast at level AA or better, verified against every foreground and background pairing in both the light and the dark theme.
• Touch targets of at least 44 by 44 pixels, and layouts that do not scroll sideways between 360 and 1440 pixels wide.
• Text alternatives for every published image, written in all nine languages the site is offered in.
• Form fields with visible labels, errors announced to assistive technology and placed next to the field they belong to.

Technical specifications and compatibility

The site relies on HTML, CSS, JavaScript and WAI-ARIA. It is built to work with current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on desktop and mobile, together with the screen readers commonly paired with them.

Core content and navigation do not depend on pointer input, hover, or a particular screen size. Where JavaScript enhances an interaction, the underlying content remains reachable.

How we test

Every release runs an automated accessibility audit across the main routes of the site, and the release is blocked if the score drops below our threshold. On top of that we run an automated interface test suite that asserts specific behaviours - focus order, escape routes, ARIA state, absence of horizontal overflow - so a regression fails the build rather than reaching you.

Automated testing is a floor, not a ceiling. We also walk through new interfaces by keyboard, in both themes, before they are published.

Known limitations

We would rather name these than let you discover them:

• No independent audit yet. Our evidence is our own testing; we have not yet had the site reviewed by an external specialist or by a panel of assistive-technology users.
• Generated imagery carries descriptive but general alternative text. It is decorative art rather than information, so the text describes its subject rather than every detail.
• Wide data tables, such as the ones on the cookie policy, scroll horizontally inside their own container on narrow screens. The page itself never scrolls sideways, but the table does.
• Content on websites we link to is outside our control and may not meet the same standard.

Feedback and how to reach us

If you meet a barrier on this site, or you need something published here in a different format, write to [email protected]. Tell us the page, what you were trying to do and, if you can, the assistive technology and browser you use - it makes the fix much faster.

We acknowledge accessibility reports within five working days and tell you what we intend to do and by when. If our answer does not resolve the matter, you may raise it with the competent authority in your country.

Statement date and review

This statement was prepared in August 2026 on the basis of our own evaluation of the site. It is reviewed whenever we change the public interface, and at least once a year.
