• Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (such as JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
• Resize the website to the size of your window or device and display a readable text size whatever device you use. This website resizes automatically depending on the window or device used
• Zoom in up to 200% without text spilling off the screen

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

What we do about known issues

We work to achieve and maintain WCAG 2.1 AA standards, but it is not always possible for all our content to be accessible. Where content is not accessible, we will state a reason, warn users and offer alternatives. At present, we are aware of a small number of limitations in the website’s underlying code which may cause some screen readers difficulty. We aim to correct these issues by the end of 2020. In addition:

• Many PDFs on this website are not yet compatible with screen readers. We are working to convert existing PDF documents to accessible PDFs. In the meantime, If you want to access any of the existing PDFs please email: [email protected]
