For all new content that we publish we'll make sure that they meet accessibility standards.  We also plan to make our existing pdfs compliant with WCAG 2.4.2 and WCAG 1.1.1 by the end of 2024, and compliant with WCAG 1.4.3 by September 2025 

  • The accessibility of embedded video content is dependent on the standards reached by the third-party provider. Where possible we will make use of features such as subtitles to ensure our content is accessible. We are aware that not all of our videos have easily accessible captions or transcripts for d/Deaf users. We are looking at ways to provide these in the future.
  • Key information is available in written form wherever possible. However, this is not always possible – for example, our virtual tour.

Preparation of this accessibility statement

This statement was prepared on 18 October 2024. It will be reviewed in March 2025.  We aim to review the statement biannually.

This website was last tested by our Web Services team during September 2024.  It involved a mixture of manual and automated tests on various pages.  The manual checks included using each of them without a mouse, viewing the page at different zoom settings and simulating viewing the page on a smaller screen.  The automated tests were carried out using a combination of the Deque Axe browser plugin and the WebAIM website.  The issues that were found have now been addressed.
