Research direction

Start with the issue description and consult accessibility experts at the UK Met Office about suitable manual checks, including keyboard navigation of headings and screen-reading pages. Agree which checks apply across all SciTools repositories and define a recurring schedule; the work is done when the team has an agreed routine.

Description

Automated testing and continuous integration - #214 - can do much heavy lifting in the accessibility space, but not all elements of accessibility testing should be automated. E.g. the correct alt-text will depend on context. The SciTools team should agree on appropriate manual testing e.g. keyboard navigation of headings or screen-reading a page, with help from experts at UK Met Office, and agree on a schedule for performing this.
