Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 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

Disproportionate burden

Some older PDF documents are not fully accessible. We are working to enhance or replace these with accessible HTML content where possible. For legacy documents, fixing all issues would be a disproportionate burden.

Content that's not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

Some of our digital learning resources are created using third-party tools such as Articulate. While we aim to ensure this content is as accessible as possible, some interactive elements and media may not fully meet accessibility standards in all cases.

We are working to improve the accessibility of this content and, where possible, provide alternative formats or additional support.

Some additional third-party content and embedded tools may also be outside of our direct control and may not be fully accessible.

What we're doing to improve accessibility

We are actively working to improve accessibility across the website. Our current priorities include:

  • improving alternative text coverage for images

  • improving keyboard navigation across interactive components

  • reducing reliance on PDFs and replacing them with accessible web content

Accessibility is considered as part of all new development work and content updates.
