How accessible this website is:
The resources within this website have been made with accessbility in mind. In pariticular, we have tried to make the resources as accessible as possible by:
- including either alt text or audio tracks alongside visual compoents.
- splitting large blocks of writing into smaller chunks.
- presenting material in different ways.
- including subtitles for videos.
- providing explanations or definitions for difficult words and phrases.
We're confident that our website is largely accessible; however, we know that there may be some issues:
- although every effort has been made to make documents accessible to screen readers, some documents may not read correctly
- you may not be able to access all content by using the keyboard alone
- not all media will have a transcript, or be subtitled, (where possible and applicable audio descriptions and subtitles have been used)
- some text may not reflow in a single column when you change the size of the browser window or use certain levels of magnification
- some older documents (PDF, PowerPoint, Word) are (may not be) not fully accessible to screen reader software
Further information on specific services and escalation routes is provided in Appendix 1.
