We strive to ensure that our services are accessible to everyone. We have invested a significant amount of resources to help ensure that our website is easy to use and more accessible for people with disabilities, because we have a strong belief that every person has the right to live with dignity, equality, comfort and independence.
Technical information about this website
We’ve made the website text as simple as possible to understand. However, AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
Accessibility on this website
We have made available a Free Website Accessibility Widget that is powered by a dedicated accessibility server. This software allows us to improve compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1 AA standard).

Our website accessibility menu can be enabled by clicking the accessibility menu icon.
This appears in the centre at the top of each page. After triggering the accessibility menu, please wait a moment for the accessibility menu to load in its entirety.

Disclaimer
We continue our efforts to constantly improve the accessibility of this website and services in the belief that it is our collective moral obligation to allow seamless accessible and unhindered use including those with disabilities.
Despite our efforts to make all pages and content on this website fully accessible, some content may not be fully adapted to the strictest accessibility standards. This may be a result of us not having found or identified the most appropriate technological solution.

Issues with PDFs and other documents
Some of our PDFs are essential to providing our services. The accessibility regulations don’t require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they are not essential to providing our services. For example, we don’t plan to fix documents we are not legally obliged to provide. However, any new documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
