Accessibility statement.

Using our website

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

• change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or device settings
• zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
• navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
• listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We’ve made the website text as simple as possible to understand. We have also installed the Reachdeck Toolbar.

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

• you cannot modify the line height or spacing of text
• you cannot skip to main content using a keyboard or assistive technology
• some of our PDF and Word documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software.

About the ReackDeck toolbar

The ReachDeck Toolbar will help you to read and translate the content on our website.

Its features include:

• Text-to-speech: click on or select any text to hear it read aloud.
• Translation: translate content into over 100 languages.
• Text magnification: enlarge text and hear it read out loud.
• MP3 generation: convert selected text into an MP3 audio file.
• Screen mask: reduce glare with a tinted mask.
• Web page simplifier: remove clutter from the screen. Display only the main text.

Using the ReachDeck Toolbar

Click on the round orange button (with the person icon) that can be seen in the bottom right corner of the website to launch the ReachDeck Toolbar.

You will see it launch in the top of your screen. Now click on the first ‘pointed finger’ icon on that toolbar and hover your mouse pointer over any text on our site to hear it read out loud.

Download the ReachDeck toolbar user guide for further guidance or watch their short video.
