- Change colours, contrast levels, and fonts.
- Zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen.
- Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard.
- Navigate most of the website using speech recognition software.
- Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver).

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