Accessibility: Information and resources

We want as many people as possible to be able to use our website. On this page you’ll find tools, guides and ways to get help. 

We want everyone to be able to use our website, including people who are deaf, blind, have learning difficulties or cannot use a mouse. 

This page lists tools, outside resources and things we’re doing to make the site accessible.

Use the 'Contact us' link at the bottom of the page if you need help.

The main objectives we’re working on are:

• Improving colour use so text is easier to read
• Adding captions to videos
• Writing clearer pages with short sentences
• Testing the site to find and fix problems

AbilityNet has a wide range of factsheets and information to help disabled website users.

The Website Accessibility Initiative (WAI) collaborates with many organisations when helping them to make their content easy to access.

Accessibility guides produced by operating systems:

• Apple’s guide to accessing the Macintosh for disabled users
• Gnome accessibility – developers working on open-source solutions for Linux
• Microsoft’s accessibility site
