We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website and that it is inclusive and accessible to as many people as possible.

This includes those who may experience impaired vision, motor difficulties, cognitive impairments or learning disabilities, deafness, or impaired hearing, and/or who may require additional tools or formats to be able to access the learning materials. For example, that means you should be able to:  

• Clearly read all text and content  
• Navigate the website using clear interface and menu components.  
• 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.  

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability. Please also see our Assistive technology overview to find out more about the accessibility features in different programs, apps and devices.

This section covers issues that we do not need to fix right now. The law calls these exemptions.  

PDFs and other documents  

Some of our PDFs that are not essential to providing our services were published before 23 September 2018. Any new PDFs or documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.  

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 [example of non-essential document].
