Accessibility statement

Last tested: 9 November 2026

What we aim for

We want everyone to be able to use this site, including people using a keyboard, a screen reader, a phone, or a zoomed-in screen. We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA.

You should be able to:

  • zoom in up to 400% without text running off the screen
  • move around every page with a keyboard, with a visible outline showing where you are
  • turn on "Calmer view" to switch off glows and movement
  • use Quick exit by tapping the button or pressing Shift and Esc together
  • read every printable resource as a web page as well as a PDF

How we checked

We ran automated accessibility checks on every page, tested small phone and zoomed-in screen sizes, and moved through pages with a keyboard. We have not yet tested with disabled people or with a full range of screen readers.

Parts that don't fully work yet

  • The PDFs contain real text, but they aren't fully "tagged" for screen readers. Use the web page version of each resource instead, it has the same content.
  • Some wide blank tables scroll sideways on small screens.
  • Translations are produced automatically and may not always be accurate.

Telling us about a problem

We don't collect messages through this site. A way to report accessibility problems will be added here, alongside the contact on the privacy notice.
