To help in this, we aim to make our website compliant with W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines to AA level.
Our site is coded so you can easily change the appearance of text, fonts or background colors.
For information about customizing your browser, see the W3C Guideline pages.

Design – how we’ve tried to help
- Page layouts are clear and used consistently.
- Colors chosen to be contrasting and not disadvantage those with color blindness.
- The site responds to the device you are using to give you the best user experience.
- Text is encoded so it can easily be resized.
- Images include an alternative text description.
- Links to external websites and downloadable files will open in a new browser window or tab, allowing you to switch between content easily.
- All downloads are in PDF format – these are designed to be accessible.
These just highlight some of the considerations we take when designing our sites. The site is tested using the WAVE web accessibility tool, WebAIM color contrast tools, and Microsoft Edge accessibility tools to test for Protanopia, Deuteranopia, Tritanopia and Achromatopsia.
