Accessibility

Last updated 2 November 2026

Every voter should be able to find out who represents them. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA.

What we do

  • Pages work on small phone screens as well as desktops, and text can be zoomed without losing content.
  • Images that carry meaning have text descriptions for screen readers.
  • Forms, menus and buttons can be used with a keyboard, with a visible focus outline.
  • Grades and statuses are always written out in text, never shown by colour alone.
  • Pages are kept light so they load on slower mobile connections.

Known limitations

Some charts and progress indicators may not yet be fully described to screen readers, and the site is currently available in English only.
