Multiple linked images in the “News” section lack accessible text.

 

WCAG 2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (Minimum)

The cookie banner can obscure content while keyboard navigation moves focus behind it, meaning focused elements are not visible.

  • images may not have alternative text
  • structure may not be correctly tagged

Disproportionate burden

We have not claimed any disproportionate burden exemptions.

If this changes, we will update this statement with a full assessment and justification.
