It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Transparency Centre is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

  • We do not use images of text.
  • All functionality is accessible by keyboard with no exceptions.
  • No time limits on website.
