elements using a keyboard
- ensuring interactive controls and navigation elements are clearly labelled for
assistive technologies

which element is currently selected
- improving colour contrast and visual cues to ensure links and controls are
clearly identifiable
- enhancing carousel and navigation controls so they are easier to understand
and operate
- improving the accessibility of content tiles and interactive components so
they function as clear and consistent links
- providing alternative text descriptions for images across the website

in infographic or image form

without requiring hover interactions
