Our accessibility statement

People with sensory and physical impairments

The Disability Discrimination Act (1995) gives disabled people important rights of access to everyday services that others take for granted.

Our website is  designed to World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) guidelines which allow people using special access software and hardware (such as screen readers for visually impaired people) to use the site.

We have made every effort to make the text and graphics legible. We have avoided colour combinations that may confuse people with colour blindness. The text size can also be changed.

We have included access keys to allow people with limited physical capabilities to use the site more easily
