Preparation of this accessibility statement

We used a combination of methods to check the site:

• Accessibility Evaluation Tools - used to scan a number of sample pages and highlight accessibility issues

  • WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool

  • Chrome Lighthouse

• Manual Testing - we used an accessibility checklist to manually check a representative sample of pages from across our website, this included:

  • Testing with the NVDA screen reader
  • Manually testing site navigation by only using the keyboard
  • Testing site functionality in high contrast mode using Windows 11 ‘Night Sky’ high contrast mode in the Google Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge browsers
  • Testing for colour contrast using Windows 11 ‘Greyscale’ mode in the Google Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge browsers
