Accessibility features on this site

Concrete measures in this site, not a claim of a completed audit:

• A banner, primary navigation, main content, and a footer are marked as landmarks on every page, so a screen reader user can jump straight to any of them.
• One <h1> per page and no skipped heading levels.
• A skip link to main content, visible on keyboard focus, ahead of the masthead.
• A 2px solid focus indicator with a 2px offset, checked to at least 3:1 against the surface it lands on, including the darker slate sections.
• The primary navigation opens from a native <details>/<summary> element, so the menu works with JavaScript off; script only adds the Escape key and focus containment.
• The distinction between the two authorities is never carried by colour alone. The holding authority is always a word first, with a hatch pattern as a second, redundant cue.
• Interactive targets are at least 24 by 24 pixels.
• Form fields carry real <label> elements and, where a field can fail validation, error text tied to the field with aria-describedby.
