Conformance target

We are targeting conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Accessibility is treated as a core requirement, especially for public-facing government content.

Accessibility practices

  • Keyboard navigable interfaces
  • Screen reader-friendly structure and labels
  • Color contrast and readable typography
  • Responsive layouts for mobile and desktop

Testing approach

We test critical user flows (navigation, filters, charts/tables) using keyboard-only interaction and screen reader checks during development. We continue to improve as the product evolves.

Known limitations

If you encounter an accessibility issue, we want to fix it. Some complex data visualizations can present unique challenges; we work to ensure equivalent access through labels, summaries, and structured data wherever possible.
