Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Compliance Status 

This websites is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.

Non-accessible content

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

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

PDF and Word documents

We are striving to make all PDFs and Word documents accessible by assistive technology and meet the WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Some third-party documents may not be accessible. You may find this information about accessing PDFs with a screen reader useful.

Enlarging content

When text is resized up to 200% using settings in the browser (zoom or font size) some text may become unreadable because it is truncated or overlapped by other content. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criteria 1.4.4 (Resize text). 

When content is viewed at 400% using the zoom setting in the browser, on small devices, some text may become unreadable because it is truncated or overlapped by other content. This makes it difficult for people who need to enlarge text and read it in a single column. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criteria 1.4.10 (Reflow).

Disproportionate burden 

We are not claiming Disproportionate Burden for this website.
