    We are continually working to improve the accessibility and usability of our website.

    Accessibility Standards

    Our website has been developed using the Juniper Websites platform, which is designed with accessibility in mind and aims to support compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA.

    We endeavour to ensure that any content we add to the website also meets these standards.

    • Listen to most of the website using a screen reader.
    • Change colours, contrast levels and fonts using your browser or device settings.
    • Access the website from a range of devices, including desktops, tablets and smartphones.

    Known Accessibility Issues

    Whilst we strive to maintain a fully accessible website, we are aware that some content may not yet fully meet accessibility standards. This may include:

    • Some older PDF documents that are not fully accessible to screen readers.
    • Historical documents created before accessibility guidance was introduced.
    • Some older images that may not contain appropriate alternative text.
    • Third-party content or embedded services that are outside of our direct control.

    We are reviewing these areas and will improve them where reasonably practicable.
