Accessibility

We are committed to offering a website that is accessible to the widest audience possible, regardless of the technology available to them or their own ability. 

Conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for disabled people. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

The Contact website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Additional accessibility considerations

Although our goal is WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance, we also aim to apply some Level AAA Success Criteria:

This conformance status statement was created on 20 January 2023 using the W3C Accessibility Statement Generator Tool.

Accessibility toolbar

We have installed the Recite Me assistive toolbar to help visitors browse our site using a variety of features, including screen reading functionality, multiple reading aids and colour customisation.

You can access our accessibility tool from the header menu at the top of the page, on desktop, or the burger menu on mobile (☰).

Please note that some customisation combinations might impact elements of the functionality of our site.
