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

• navigate most of the website using just a keyboard

• navigate most of the website using speech recognition software

• listen to most of the website using a screen reader (e.g. JAWS)

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

Enforcement procedure

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’). If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.

The full guidelines are available at:
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

• Non compliance with the accessibility regulations

The following items may not comply with the WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria:

• Some images do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.1.1 (Non-text Content).

  • We will review images on the website annually.

• Some of our PDFs and Word documents may not be structured, so they’re accessible to a screen reader.

  • We will try to make sure any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards, and where we find any that are not accessible, we will rectify this as soon as possible. We will carry out an audit to assess the accessibility of our PDFs and plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages by December 2026

• There are some occurrences of badly formatted links either with text that is not descriptive enough, e.g. click here or have the full web address e.g. https://www. rather than formatted link text. This fails WCAG success criterion 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context).

  • We are currently working to eliminate these link issues.

• On some pages the font size is fixed. This fails WCAG success criterion 1.4.8 Visual Presentation

  • We will review this issue by the end of 2026

Disproportionate burden

We are not currently claiming that any accessibility problems would be a disproportionate burden to fix.

Continual Improvement

We endeavour to continually improve the accessibility of this site.

Preparation of this accessibility statement

This statement was prepared in February 2026 and will be reviewed annually.
