Approach
We believe that this website meets or exceeds the requirements of the Priority 1 checkpoints of the World Wide Web Consortium Web Accessibility Initiative (WCAG WAI) 1.0 guidelines.
We believe that this website meets or exceeds the Level A criteria of the checkpoints of the World Wide Web Consortium Web Accessibility Initiative (WCAG WAI) 2.0 guidelines.
Accessibility features
Text size: You can vary the text size by using your browser's text resize option: View - Text Size.
Alternative text for images: All images have been given appropriate alternative text.
Heading elements: HTML heading elements have been used to represent page structure, supporting assistive technologies that allow page navigation from heading to heading.
Link text: All hyperlinks should make sense when read out of context, and hyperlinks are clearly presented in a different text style from normal body text.
JavaScript independence: Where JavaScript or other scripts are used for navigation or functionality, an alternative mechanism has been put in place in case your browser does not support these scripts.
Colour contrast: We have checked text and background colour combinations to ensure that the contrast is sufficient and we have also ensured that information is not referenced by colour alone.
Style sheets: We have used Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to control the presentation of pages and have used properly structured markup for content. If style sheets are not supported or are turned off, information on the site can still be accessed and read.

Recite Me web accessibility and language toolbar
Recite Me is innovative cloud-based software that lets visitors to our website view and use it in the way that works best for them.
We have added the Recite Me web accessibility and language toolbar to our website to make it accessible and inclusive for as many people as possible.
It helps the one in five people in the UK who have a disability, including those with common conditions like sight loss and dyslexia, to access this website in the way that suits them best.
It also meets the needs of the one in ten people in the UK who don’t speak English as their first language, by being able to translate our web content into over 100 different languages.
How do I access the Recite Me toolbar?
You can open the Recite Me language and accessibility toolbar by clicking on the 'Accessibility Tools' link.
This 'Accessibility Tools' link now appears at the top on every page of our website.
After you click on the 'Accessibility Tools' link the Recite Me toolbar opens and displays a range of different options for customising how the website looks and how you can access the content.
How does Recite Me help me access this website?
Recite Me helps people to access our website to do the things they need to do, like find information about how to access our service by making complaints, access publications and read news.
