How accessible this website is

We have built this website to accessibility standards WCAG 2.1 AA. 

As part of this, our accessibility commitment includes making sure that our website: 

  • Has clear content and layouts

  • Has a high contrast between text sections and their backgrounds

  • Is able to be resized to 200% without loss of content or function

  • Is compatible with screen readers and other assistive technologies

  • Allows for keyboard-only navigation

  • Uses clear headings and labels

We have also planned a full accessibility audit against WCAG 2.1 AA to be completed by 31 January 2025. Any remaining issues that the audit identifies will be corrected as a priority.
