Accessibility
This website has been designed to comply with international web accessibility standards issued by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) as part of their Web Accessibility Initiative.
We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
- navigate and access content at any screen size from a mobile phone to a desktop
- change colours, contrast levels and fonts using your browser
- 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 has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
