Website accessibility

We’re committed to making sure everyone can access and use our website easily, whatever their device.

We aim to meet level AA of the World Wide Web Consortium (WC3) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1, where possible. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities.

Change the way the website looks

If you’re having trouble reading this website, you can change how it looks. Most web browser settings allow you to alter the text size, colour and layout. The settings may differ slightly depending on the browser you’re using.

AbilityNet has guidance on how to:

• make text larger
• change text and background colours
• change your fonts
• magnify the screen.

Make your device easier to use

AbilityNet also has guidance on:

• accessibility features designed to make your keyboard, mouse and mobile device easier to use
• how to make your computer easier to use if you have a hearing impairment.
