How you can use this website

We want as many people as possible to be able to use our website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • zoom in up to 300% without text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
  • access the website even if Javascript is switched off

We also try to make the text as clear and simple as possible to understand.

[Optional: Add a line if you know some content may be more complex, e.g. medical terminology.]

If you have a disability, AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use.
