Accessibility Statement

​Using this website

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.

We are always working to make our website as accessible and usable as possible.

For example, that 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 have also tried to make the website text easy to understand.

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

Issues

This website is put together on a voluntary basis.  We are still learning about what making a fully accessible website entails.

How we test this website

The UK Government provides a manual for testing for accessibility that we follow.  There are a number of automated testing tools such as Tenon that we rely on to make this website better.

​What we're doing to improve accessibility

We are active in developing a new website that resolves the issues found here and on our old website.
