• change colours, contrast levels and fonts
• zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen

How accessible is this website?

Some areas of our website have been flagged as not meeting particular standards. These have been outlined below:

• Videos are hosted on third-party platforms and may sometimes exclude closed captions.
  
• The indicators on our slider components are reporting contrast issues. This is caused by a font-style quirk in the plugin used for adding this functionality to the website. This is a technical limitation of the software used to scan the website. We have ensured that these elements meet contrast standards and have provided suitable aria labels to ensure the elements are read correctly using assistive technologies.
