Accessibility statement

This website has been built with accessibility in mind. We have taken all steps possible to make sure the website is accessible to all.

How the site is built

Pages are written in semantic HTML5 and the style sheets follow current CSS. The layout is designed to reflow cleanly at any screen size, from a small mobile phone to a large desktop display. The site aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines at level AA.

• Every page has a single, clear heading and a logical heading order.
• All interactive elements can be reached and used with a keyboard alone.
• Focus outlines are visible on links, buttons and form fields.
• Colour combinations are chosen to give strong contrast between text and background.
• Images carry meaningful alternative text where they convey information.
• Decorative images are hidden from assistive technology.
• Animations are subtle and are switched off automatically when your device requests reduced motion.

Text size

If you find the text on this site is too small, you can change it in your browser settings. Follow the instructions for the browser you are using.

In most browsers, holding the control key, or the command key on a Mac, and pressing the plus or minus key will enlarge or reduce the page. To return to the default size, press the zero key while holding the same modifier key.

You can also set a minimum text size and choose your own fonts in the browser preferences, which will apply to this site and to others that you visit.
