Our commitment to accessibility

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • Navigate the website using speech recognition software
  • Listen to the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver)
  • Zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen

We have also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

How accessible this website is

We aim to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards wherever possible.

Our website is built using WordPress, and we have taken steps to ensure accessibility, including:

  • Using a responsive design that works on different devices and screen sizes
  • Providing alternative text for images where appropriate
  • Using clear and consistent navigation
  • Ensuring sufficient colour contrast between text and background
  • Using semantic HTML markup
  • Ensuring forms are clearly labelled

However, we know some parts of this website may not be fully accessible. We are working to identify and fix these issues.

Known limitations

We are aware of the following accessibility issues:

  • Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible to screen reader software
  • Some third-party embedded content (such as social media feeds or maps) may not be fully accessible
  • Some images may not have adequate alternative text descriptions

We are working to address these issues as part of our ongoing commitment to accessibility.
