Website Accessibility

Our website has been designed and built with accessibility in mind, and following the recommendations set out in the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

Reference:
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1
W3C Recommendation 21 September 2023
(Link: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/).

Our website scores highly on online Web Accessibility/Level Access tests.

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

      • 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.

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

Some content on our website is not fully accessible although this is kept to an absolute minimum:

      • You may not be able to modify the line height or spacing of text.
      • Some PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software.
      • Some videos do not have captions.
