 * This slider is being used on a government website and we’ve recently learned 
   of a large number of accessibility issues with this plugin. We are required to
   meet the WCAG 2.0 Level AA standard and these are the issues that need to be 
   resolved. Is it possible to address these in a future release?
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Level A
       1. 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value
       Button without a text alternative
       Arrow pre/next - Span.slick-prev.slick-arrow
   
       2. 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value
       Hidden element has focusable content
       Slider circle buttons
   
       3. 1.3.1 Info and Relationships
       Role not inside the required context
   
       4. 1.3.1 Info and Relationships
       Container element is empty
   
       5. 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value
       Role with implied hidden content has keyboard focus
   
       6. 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value
       Form field missing a label
   
       Level AA
       7. 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum)
       Color contrast does not meet minimum requirement
   
       ARIA
       8. WAI-ARIA authoring practices
       ARIA attribute unsupported or prohibited
   
       Other findings
       8. Accessibility best practices
       Presentational element is exposed to assistive technologies
       Keyboard navigation
       10. When user uses the keyboard to navigate the site, the slider doesn't have a visible focus indicator to help users understand where they are (if not navigating by mouse or by sight).

 * Hello,
 * Sorry for the late reply…
 * We have checked your screenshot but we have used third-party jQuery slick-min.
   js on our plugin and third-party jQuery is the issue of Accessibility.
 * We will check properly and a solution for this issue so we will inform you.
 * we have used this slick jQuery: [https://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/](https://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/)
 * Thanks
