Accessibility

We are committed to making our website accessible to all users and we have included several features designed to improve accessibility for users with disabilities.  

Standards compliance 

Our pages confirm to a minimum Level 1 (A) compliance with the World Wide Web Consortium's Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.  Our goal for the future is for the majority of Level 2 (AA) and Level 3 (AAA) requirements to also be met.  We are working continuously to assess the website for functional and visual compliance to meet these standards in order to improve the experience for all our users.

Text resizing

We have used style sheets throughout, and users can increase or decrease the size of the text by using the browser 'Text Size' options.

Making your computer work for you

Do you need help in making the web easier to use? There are many ways you can change your browser, computer, keyboard and mouse settings to make the web more accessible for you.

Further information on getting the most out of the internet is available on the BBC website My web My way which has up-to-date information on how to optimise your web experience on a wide variety of platforms.
