Accessibility statement

We aim for WCAG 2.2 level AA on public pages.

What we commit to

Every interactive element is reachable and operable by keyboard alone.
Focus is always visible and never trapped.
Primary body copy and interactive controls target a contrast ratio of at least 4.5 to 1.
No information is conveyed by colour alone.
Form fields have persistent labels, and errors are announced and linked to their field.
Decorative artwork is hidden from assistive technology.
Entrance and hover motion respect reduced-motion preferences. Debt estimates continue to refresh once a second with reduced motion enabled.
The homepage film has no audio or visible playback buttons. Click or tap it to pause or resume, or focus it and press Space. It stays paused when reduced motion is requested and pauses when outside the viewport or when the browser tab is hidden.
The live debt figure is also available as an exact dollar amount on the homepage and the Transparency page, not only as a compact headline.
