How Accessible this Website is
We know some parts of this website aren’t fully accessible as some of our older blogs aren’t fully accessible to screen readers. Many of our older blog posts are not formatted in a way that makes them fully accessible. This includes un-captioned images, missing alt text, or text that does not make sense when when on its own (for example, the phrase ‘click here’).
We understand that the accessibility regulations do not require us to alter documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services. However, if you need information in an alternative format, please do contact us.
What to do if you can’t access parts of this website
If you need information on this website in a different format, such as accessible PDF, large print, easy read, audio recording or braille, please contact us.
We’ll consider your request and get back to you within five working days.
