Accessibility statement
We assess our own website against the same standards we would apply to a client’s. This statement records where it stands, including where it falls short.
- Target standard
- WCAG 2.2 level AA, and EN 301 549 v3.2.1 clauses 9 and 11
- Current conformance
- Partially conformant — see known gaps below
- Date of last assessment
- 9 February 2026
- Assessment method
- Self-assessment: manual keyboard and screen-reader review, automated checks
- Statement prepared
- 16 February 2026
What is in place
- Text and interface colours meet the 4.5:1 and 3:1 contrast ratios required by WCAG 2.2 AA in both the light and dark presentations.
- Every page is operable by keyboard alone, with a visible focus indicator and a skip link to the main content.
- The mobile navigation panel traps focus while open, returns focus to the trigger on close, and closes on Escape.
- Headings follow a single H1 and a nested order; landmarks identify the header, navigation, main content and footer.
- Forms use permanently visible labels, associate errors with their field, and announce an error summary to assistive technology.
- Content reflows to a 320 CSS pixel viewport without loss of function, and remains usable at 200% text zoom.
- No content relies on colour alone, and nothing flashes, auto-plays or moves without a user action.
- Fonts are self-hosted with font-display: swap, so text remains readable while they load.
Known gaps
The following are known to fall short of the target standard. We list them rather than claim full conformance.
Placeholder content remains in several places
Postal address details and consultant portraits are marked as placeholders. Their alternative text and labels are present but generic until the final content is supplied. WCAG 2.2 success criteria 1.1.1 and 2.4.4.
Screen-reader testing coverage is incomplete
Automated checks (axe-core, WCAG 2.0/2.1/2.2 A and AA rule sets) pass with no violations on every page in both light and dark themes, and keyboard operation has been tested manually throughout. Testing against the full EN 301 549 matrix of browser and assistive-technology combinations has not yet been completed. [PLACEHOLDER: screen readers tested.]
Long regulatory tables
Deadline and comparison tables on the compliance pages scroll horizontally on narrow viewports. They are readable and keyboard-scrollable, but a linearised presentation would be better.
No independent audit has been carried out
The conformance claim above rests on self-assessment. [PLACEHOLDER: date of planned independent audit.]
