Accessibility statementWhat has been built for, what has been checked, and what has not.

The standard the site is built against

The site is built against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, at level AA as the target for contrast, focus visibility and the semantics of headings and form controls. It is a target, not a claim: this site has not been through a formal conformance audit by an independent reviewer, and it does not claim one.

What is in place

The document language and the text direction are set on every page, so the Arabic tree is right-to-left rather than left-to-right with Arabic in it. Every image carries alternative text, form controls carry labels, interactive elements carry accessible names, and keyboard focus is visible on links, buttons and form fields.

The Arabic and English versions of a page carry a link between them, and each page names its own canonical address so that a reader who arrives by search is told which one is the original.

What has not been done

The site has not been tested with a screen reader across the whole tree, has not been tested at the extreme zoom levels a low-vision reader may use, and has not been tested with voice-control software. A rendered crawl of the site, as opposed to an audit of a sample of addresses, has not been carried out. Those are gaps, and they are stated here rather than implied away by the word "accessible".

Reporting a barrier

If something on this site stops you from reading it, the corrections form takes the note, and a barrier is treated as a defect rather than as an enquiry.
