1. Our commitment
We're committed to WCAG 2.2 Level AA as our accessibility baseline. Where we fall short, we'll tell you here honestly — and fix it.
2. The standard we aim for
- All interactive elements are keyboard-navigable.
- Colour contrast ratios meet WCAG AA (4.5:1 for body, 3:1 for large text).
- Screen-reader-friendly markup (semantic HTML, ARIA where needed).
- All images have descriptive alt text.
- Every form has visible labels and error messages.
- The app works with 200% browser zoom without horizontal scrolling.
- We avoid flashing content (no content flashes more than 3 times per second).
3. What works well today
- High-contrast orange/black brand colours pass AA for body and large text.
- Entire app is usable with keyboard only — every button, link, input reachable via Tab.
- Reduced-motion preferences respected (no forced animations).
- Cookie banner and modals trap focus correctly.
4. Known gaps we're working on
- The interactive Leaflet map has limited screen-reader support — we provide a list view as an alternative.
- Some older community threads have user-uploaded images without alt text — we're rolling out a prompt for authors.
- Full dark-mode is on the roadmap.
5. Tell us where we fall short
