Technical information about this website' s accessibility

Compliance status

We are constantly working to improve accessibility on our website. We regularly review our pages and work hard to keep up with developments in technology and practice. 

This  website is compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard.

Content that' s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

PDFs and other documents

The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs   or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they' re not essential to providing our services. For example, we do not plan to fix board papers published before September 2018.

We know PDFs and closed file formats are difficult to use for people with accessibility needs, so wherever possible we use HTML pages instead. We are also investigating the use of software to convert PDF documents into html pages more easily.

What we' re doing to improve accessibility

We work with our supplier to carry out a quarterly accessibility review.
