Accessibility statement

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 300% 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 most of the website text as simple as possible to understand.

We’ve installed the ReachDeck toolbar which offers free accessibility and translation tools.

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

• some pages and document attachments are not clearly written
• some images do not have good alternative text
• some link text does not describe the purpose of the link
• some documents are in PDF format and are not fully accessible

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 language icon) that can be seen in the bottom corner of the website to launch the ReachDeck Toolbar.

You will see it launch in the top of your screen. Download the ReachDeck toolbar user guide for further guidance or watch their short video.
