Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

UK News is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Our goal is to comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards.

What We've Implemented

• Semantic HTML structure for proper screen reader navigation
• Keyboard navigation support throughout the application
• Screen reader compatibility with ARIA labels and live regions
• Color contrast meeting WCAG AA requirements (4.5:1 for text)
• Focus management for modals and dynamic content
• Skip links to bypass navigation
• Text resize support up to 200% without loss of content
• Reduced motion support for users with vestibular disorders

Known Limitations

• Some third-party content (news articles from external sources) may not fully meet WCAG AA standards
• Dynamic content updates may not be announced by all screen reader versions
• Some legacy content may not have complete accessibility features
