Accessibility statement

We are committed to making our website accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of technology or ability.

We are actively improving the accessibility and usability of this website in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

This website is partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

We are currently undertaking a structured programme of work to identify and address accessibility issues across the site.

We are taking the following steps to improve accessibility:

Regular auditing using automated testing tools and manual review
Improving page structure, headings, landmarks and navigation for assistive technologies
Ensuring interactive controls such as buttons and embedded content have appropriate text alternatives
Reviewing templates and components to ensure new content meets accessibility standards
Providing guidance to content editors to help maintain accessible content

Accessibility is considered as part of our ongoing design, development and content processes.

Despite our efforts, some parts of the website may not yet be fully accessible. For example:

Some pages may contain heading structures that are not always fully descriptive or meaningful for screen reader users
Certain structural elements used for layout may be interpreted incorrectly by assistive technologies
Some buttons, controls, or embedded content may not yet provide sufficient text alternatives
Page regions and navigation landmarks may not always be optimally defined for assistive navigation
Some older documents or downloadable files may not be fully accessible

We are working to address these issues and prioritise fixes based on impact and usage.

If you experience any difficulty using this website, or if you require information in an alternative format, please contact us:

We aim to respond to accessibility-related enquiries within 5 working days.
