We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and we are working hard to achieve a goal of WCAG 2.2 AA accessible as our target for this website.

What we do to make this website accessible:

• Ensure all use of fonts and background colours have enough contrast to be readable  
• Test the validity of XHTML and CSS as we create new pages and styles
• Ensure the text on pages can be enlarged using browser controls.
• Ensure that most of the website can be navigated using just a keyboard      
• We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

Work in Progress

• Our website is currently under active development. As part of this work, we are working hard to fix any issues to make all elements of our site accessible.
• We are reviewing how we provide large print versions of our publications.
• We are striving to improve the use of appropriate Alt Tags on our website.
• Some documents are in PDF format and may not be fully accessible.
• Some of the contrasts between foreground and background colours are not high enough for all users, we are exploring ways to improve this.
