What we have done
- Readable text sizes, generous spacing and a comfortable line length for long guides
- Strong colour contrast between text and background
- A “skip to content” link and full keyboard navigation, with visible focus
- Clear headings and labelled form fields, with errors explained in words
- Search that opens with Ctrl+K, ⌘+K or / and closes with Esc
- Tables that stack on small screens, and print-friendly guides
- Motion kept to a minimum; the suggestion card can be dismissed
Known limitations
We have not yet commissioned an independent accessibility audit, so we do not claim to meet a particular standard. Some PDF files you upload to the Health Check may not be readable if they are scanned images; pasting the text works instead.
