We are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We aim to provide a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability, and are continuously working to improve the usability of our website in line with relevant accessibility standards. For example, you should be able to:
- Zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
- Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- Navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
- Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
- We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand
- AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability
