This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 (WCAG) AA standard, due to ‘the non-compliances’, listed below:
Please be aware this is a live website and is constantly being updated.
Some parts of the website may not work for everyone. Below are known issues that we either need to fix, cannot fix, or do not need to fix right now.
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services. However, if there is a specific document that you would like to request in HTML format, we will do our best to oblige where possible and practicable.
Multiple level 1 headings
We make use of multiple level 1 headings on some pages. These are within self-contained articles and this approach is encouraged by WCAG. However, it is noted that some assistive technologies may not implement the standard with effective results and this may affect the experience of assistive technology users. We are aware of this issue and will continue to monitor any assistive technology issues in future audits.
