- listen to the website using a screen reader (tested using Pericles TTS plugin and Google Chrome)
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard

How accessible this website is
We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:
- Most of the PDF documents on the site aren’t 100% accessible. However, they can generally be read with screen-reader software and are searchable. It is the metadata and structure of the files that need improving.
- Not all videos have closed captions yet but many do have downloadable transcripts.
Reporting accessibility problems with this website

Technical information about this website’s accessibility
We are committed to making its websites accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 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
Not all videos have captions (many videos do have full transcripts, however). The lack of captions means this fails WCAG success criterion 1.2.2. We are currently creating captions for all videos, and aim to have this complete in 2022. If you want us to prioritise work on a specific video(s) please contact us using the contact details listed above. Please note that since these videos were published before 23 September 2020, the videos are still in compliance with the UK government regulations.
Many older PDFs are not accessible in a number of ways including missing document structure and missing metadata. However, they can be searched, and can be read using screen reader software. We aim to go through and make all PDFs on the site fully accessible in 2022. If you want us to prioritise work on a specific document(s) please contact us using the contact details listed above. Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
Disproportionate burden
There is nothing on the site we believe to be a disproportionate burden to fix.
