How accessible is this website
This website is accessible with with following caveats.
- Screen reader users who cannot see the screen will find the search tab widget difficult to operate and understand. Whilst screen reader users should be able to find most of the search results, modifying the search results will be very difficult.
- Keyboard only users may find operating the search results tab difficult. This could make finding some search results difficult.
- One of the navigation menus on the carbon calculator does not have an accessible name. This means that it will not be read out loud intelligibly by screen reading software. It is not necessary to use the navigation menu however to navigate around the site.
- Some users may not realise that the search input box can be used to search the site, because there is no label.
- Keyboard only users who cannot use a mouse may find some of the content is obscured by the navigation menu under certain circumstances.
