We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
How accessible this website is
Parts of this website are not fully accessible. For example:
- some documents are in PDF or XLSX format and are not accessible, because they are not structured in a format that can be read by screen readers.
What we’re doing to improve accessibility
We are working to avoid adding PDF, Excel or Word documents to the website. Where we have no alternative, we will ensure that any PDFs or Word documents added to our website meet accessibility standards. This does not extend to documents and webpages published by other organisations that we may link to, as we have no control over their content.
How to request content in an accessible format
If you need information in a different format contact us and tell us:
- the web address (URL) of the content
- your name and email address
- the format you need, for example large print, accessible PDF
