Accessibility
We want our website to be accessible to everyone. We are continually seeking to improve our website and make it easy to use.
To make our website easy to view, we’ve designed it in accordance with guidelines from the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). Pages have been built to comply with a standard of at least WCAG 2.0 AA guidelines.
Helpful features
We’ve designed the site for different monitor sizes – including mobile phones and tablets.
We use meaningful alternative text for all images to provide descriptive text for screen readers.
We make sure that our brand colours are used in a consistent way to make text stand out.
We use a non-serif font which is easy to read.
We use hyperlinked text.
We’re also working hard to make sure our site has useful clearly written content that’s simply laid out, so the site is easy to navigate.
