Striving for Accessible Excellence: Continuously Improving for All Users

Our website is built with accessibility at the forefront, and we aim to fully adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). We’re committed to making our content usable for the widest possible audience and continue to review and improve our pages to support people of all abilities. While we test our site with a range of modern browsers, devices, and assistive technologies, we may not be able to cover every version or platform. Our focus remains on using current technologies that offer stronger security and better accessibility features.

Tab-based navigation and skip to links

This website supports full tab-based navigation, allowing you to easily navigate the page using your keyboard:

  • When you are on a menu item or hyperlink, press enter to activate
  • Hold down shift and tab to reverse the tab cycle
  • Each page includes ‘skip-to’ links at the top, allowing users of screen readers or those navigating with zoomed-in views to jump directly to main content, bypassing navigation menus.

Text resizing

You can resize the text on this site using any of the following methods:

  • Using the zoom and increase font options from your browser’s menu
  • Press the Ctrl key (Microsoft Windows ) or the Apple key (Mac OS ) on your keyboard and use the + or key to zoom in and out
  • Press Ctrl on your keyboard and scroll with your mouse wheel.

Hyperlinks

Wherever possible, links open in the same window to make navigation easier for users with vision impairments. Links to documents, however, will open in a new window to keep the user on the current page.

Images

All images that convey important information include alternative text to ensure accessibility for screen reader users.

Tables

Tables are used exclusively for displaying tabular data and not for layout purposes. Row and column headings have been identified using HTML for use with assistive technologies. On our pages which display many publications we have chosen to display these publications in a tabular format to allow ease of access to multiple formats.

Viewing documents

If you do not have the required software to view the documents available on this site, the following free downloads or online applications will allow you to view the documents:
