We are committed to making our digital experience as accessible and usable as possible for everyone. This accessibility statement explains the steps we take to support people with different access needs and how we continue to improve the experience over time. Our approach is built around practical usability, ongoing review, and a commitment to reducing barriers wherever we can.

We aim to conform with WCAG 2.1 AA standards and to apply accessible design principles across our pages and content. In plain terms, this means we try to make text readable, controls understandable, forms manageable, and layouts predictable. We also work to ensure that the site remains compatible with assistive technologies and that important information is presented in a clear and structured way.

Users who rely on assistive technology should be able to access our content with a modern screen reader. We consider screen-reader support an essential part of the experience, so we use meaningful headings, descriptive labels, logical content order, and appropriate text alternatives where needed. Accessible content structure helps users navigate with confidence and understand the page without needing to rely on visual cues alone.

Keyboard navigation is another key priority. We work to ensure that interactive elements can be reached and operated using a keyboard alone, without requiring a mouse or touch input. This includes a logical tab order, visible focus states, and a clear path through menus, forms, links, and buttons. For people who use switches, voice control, or other alternative input methods, a consistent keyboard-accessible structure can make a significant difference.

Our accessible website approach also includes attention to colour contrast, readable typography, and responsive layouts that work across a range of devices and zoom levels. We aim to avoid relying solely on colour to convey meaning and to provide clear instructions when users need to complete a task. Where content changes dynamically, we try to make sure that changes are communicated in a way that can be understood by assistive tools.

Some content may be updated from time to time, and while we strive to maintain an accessible experience, we recognise that issues can occasionally occur. When they do, we treat them as opportunities to improve. Our internal review process focuses on identifying barriers, prioritising user impact, and applying fixes in a timely manner. This ongoing effort supports a more inclusive access experience for all visitors.

We also consider structure and clarity essential to accessibility. Pages are organised to help users move through information in a meaningful order, with headings that reflect the purpose of each section. Clear navigation, understandable labels, and concise language all contribute to a better experience for users with cognitive, visual, or motor accessibility needs. In addition, we aim to keep interactive features simple and consistent so that users can predict how each element behaves.

Ongoing Accessibility Measures

n

To support accessible digital access, we review content and functionality with accessibility in mind during updates and maintenance. This may include checking headings, verifying keyboard behavior, reviewing form labels, and testing screen-reader compatibility. We also look at whether images, icons, and controls provide sufficient context for users who may not be able to perceive them visually. These measures help us maintain alignment with best practices for inclusive access.

Assistive Technology Compatibility

n

We aim for compatibility with commonly used assistive technologies, including screen readers and keyboard-only browsing. While technology environments vary, we work to support a stable and understandable experience across different browsers and devices. Our goal is to make content available in a way that is practical, dependable, and respectful of users’ needs.

If you encounter an accessibility issue, need information in a different format, or want to request an accessible version of content, we welcome accessibility requests. We also value reports about any barriers that may prevent you from using the site effectively. Please include enough detail about the problem so it can be reviewed and addressed appropriately. We will make reasonable efforts to support your request and improve the experience where possible.

nn

Accessibility support matters, and we aim to respond to concerns with care and attention. Whether the issue relates to navigation, readability, screen-reader behavior, keyboard access, or other usability concerns, your request helps us identify areas for improvement. We are committed to making our accessible website experience better over time and to supporting users with different needs in a respectful way.

This statement reflects our current commitment to accessibility and our intention to maintain an inclusive, usable digital environment. We continue to review our content and features with accessibility in mind, and we will update this statement as our practices evolve. Our objective is to support a web experience that is navigable, understandable, and accessible to as many people as possible.
