About Website Accessibility
Making our site accessible
We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website and the design of this site is intended to support this aim. We have put in a number of features that should support all users to access our work and material, including:
- high-contrast colours and fonts;
- aria-labels included across the site, including for for icons and hidden links;
- skip links for navigation;
- flowable text to avoid text spilling off the screen at larger sizes;
- semantic structuring of text to support speech recognition software and screen-reader technologies (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver);
- use of alt descriptions for functional images;
- ability to change colours, contrast levels and fonts through an accessibility toolbar.
We have also tried to keep our web content as clear and easy-to-read as possible to help you understand our work.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility
This website aims to be compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard. In certain instances, there may be elements that do not meet this standard.

We aim to ensure that new documents we publish meet accessibility standards. We will also aim to provide this information as accessible HTML pages wherever possible.
