What we do about known issues

We work to achieve and maintain WCAG 2.1 AA standards, but it is not always possible for all our content to be accessible. Where content is not accessible, we will state a reason, warn users and offer alternatives.

There are three levels of compliance within the WCAG standards: A, AA and AAA. Please view the chart below which details the hierarchy of the set standards.

WCAG 2.1 AA encompasses the WCAG A standards, therefore we seek to achieve and maintain both the A and AA standards.
