We want to make sure that our website is accessible to everyone.

We have designed the website to make it as easy to use as possible including:

Using meaningful Alt text on all images to provide useful and descriptive text for users

Using descriptive hyperlink text to make sense of the context of the link

Using an easy to read and use colour scheme

We also work hard to make sure that our website has useful content that is laid out in an easy-to-navigate way taking into account people who use different forms of access including speech readers.
