How accessible is this website?

Whilst we have made every effort to make most of our website accessible to all, we know some parts of the website are not fully accessible yet, such as:

 

  • Many of our PDFs and Word documents don’t currently meet accessibility standards
  • Links to our own internal files may not be labelled properly and may not always appear within a paragraph
  • Some references to link text to external websites may not resize correctly on some mobile devices
  • Our news and events pages do not always contain a filter function
  • YouTube videos displayed on our pages may not be accessible on certain devices
  • Our vacancies search page does not have adequate colour contrast and individual vacancies are not labelled correctly
  • The search facility within our search results page may be difficult to use on some devices

 

We are always looking to improve the accessibility of our website.
