Our commitment and legal obligations

We commit to ensuring the communications we produce are clear and accessible to the widest range of people. 

We recognise our obligations under The Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 and the Equality Act 2010.

Web standards and technologies 

We have developed the website so that it works on the widest number of devices and web browsers as possible. The site has been tested with disabled users, as well as automated accessibility testing software. It is also compatible with assistive technologies such as JAWS and Dragon Naturally Speaking. 

This website uses HTML 5 (HyperText Mark-up Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to render content. We have also used other technologies including JavaScript on certain areas of the website. 

We’re working hard to make the website conform to level AA of the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 (WCAG 2.2 AA). We recognise we have more work to do to achieve this, and the website is not currently compliant with WCAG 2.2 AA
