Website accessibility
Our website aims to meets Level AA success criteria from the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Version 2.1.
Some accessibility considerations include:
- designing webpages that are easily read using screen readers and other assistive technologies
- providing a 'skip to content' link at the top of the page, which allows screen readers to skip navigational elements and go straight to the content
- ensuring our content (where possible) is adaptable and can be viewed in all browsers and on all devices
- providing text equivalents (alt text and/or transcripts) for images containing text, such as flowcharts or diagrams
- providing transcripts and captions for videos and transcripts for audio files
- designing regulatory documents in PDF format with accessibility in mind, ensuring they pass accessibility checks
- providing an avenue for feedback which will help us continually improve our website and services.
We continue to work actively to address known issues which may impact accessibility.
