  • 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 (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

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

  • many documents are in PDF, Excel or Word format and are not accessible

  • the web address (URL) of the content
  • your name and email address
