  • Regularly reviewing the website code to ensure it meets web accessibility standards.
  • We try always to have strong contrast between text and background colours as much as possible.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility
Using third-party tools and software, it is possible to check the accessibility status of a website. At the time of making this statement, the pages in the sample that we tested partly conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level A standards.  We are committed to and will continue to work towards achieving Level A standards or any new or updated standard that may supersede these.

What doesn’t conform

Alt tags
A small number of logos and images do not have alt tags in place due to technical restrictions of the content management system and we will address this as we make updates to the website.

Image contrast
In some instances the contrast between images and text is not as good as it could be for the purposes of accessibility and we will address this as we make updates to the website.

PDFs and other documents
Unfortunately, documents (such as PDFs) are not accessible in a number of ways including missing text alternatives and missing document structure.

If you have issues with any document that is not in an accessible format, please contact us.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility
We will continue to monitor and update our site in line with current accessibility recommendations and make changes to the website’s build or content as part of the website roadmap. 

Review date
We will review this statement in January 2024 and update it accordingly.
