How We’re Making the Website Accessible

To ensure accessibility, we focus on the following areas:

Assistive Technology Compatibility

  • The website is designed to work with screen readers, magnifiers, and other assistive technologies.
  • Users can navigate the site entirely via keyboard commands.

Text Alternatives

  • Images, icons, and videos include descriptive text alternatives so that all content is understandable for users who cannot see visual content.

Colour and Contrast

  • Text and background colours are chosen to provide sufficient contrast for readability.
  • We avoid colour combinations that may be challenging for those with visual impairments or colour blindness.

Responsive Design

  • Pages are optimized for all devices and screen sizes, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones.

Clear Structure and Navigation

  • Headings, lists, and tables are structured logically.
  • Menus and links are easy to find and operate.
