We want as many people as possible to be able to use this portal. For example, that means you should be able to:
- change colours, contrast levels and fonts

- listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We know some parts of this portal are not fully accessible:
- Focus Order – Tab order is not logical

- Click handlers should have key up and key down handlers
- Use of colour – links lack styling & lack of UI contrast
- Bypass Blocks
- Incorrect Alternative Attributes on Imagery
- Page regions not identified with ARIA landmarks

- Resizing of text & text styling rendering
- Focus – CSS outline or border not clear
