- You cannot skip to the main content when using a screen reader.

Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 [opens in new window] AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
The following items do not comply with the WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria.
- There is no way to skip the repeated content in the page header (for example, a ‘skip to main content’ option). This fails the WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.1.
- There may not be sufficient colour contrast between the foreground (usually text colour) and background colour. This fails the WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.3.
- Tables that are being used as a layout structure do not always include a ‘role’ attribute to indicate to screen-readers that it is not really a table. This fails the WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.3.1.
- Not all images have an alternative text description that describes both the objects and the embedded text that the image contains. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1.
- Not all links that open in a new tab or new window explain to screen-readers that this opens in a new tab. This fails the WCAG 2.1 success criterion 3.2.2.
- Not all our PDF’s and Word documents meet accessibility standards.
We aim to improve our website accessibility on a regular and continuous basis.
