Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Cloud Chamber Studios is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

Some sections of the website skip heading sizes, making the logical structure of the webpage difficult to interpret for screen readers. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.3.1 (info and relationships) and WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.3.2 (meaningful sequence). We plan to update the heading style by January 2022. We will publish any new content using the correct heading styles.

Our colour scheme does not meet the contrast requirements laid out in WCAG success criterion 1.4.3 (contrast (minimum)). We plan to update website use of the colour scheme by January 2025.
