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

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts

  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
