Known Limitations
While we strive for full WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, we are aware of the following limitations we are working to resolve:
- Some colour combinations using our lighter text colour may fall below the 4.5:1 contrast ratio on small text — we are reviewing and updating these
- The site has not yet been independently audited by a third-party accessibility specialist — we plan to commission an audit shortly after launch
