Accessibility
It is our intention to make this website as accessible and usable as possible, using the principles and best practice of the WCAG 1.0 AA guidelines. Whilst it is our aim to comply with the WCAG guidelines, we recognise that web technology continues to evolve and advance, therefore it is possible that some guidelines are less applicable than at their time of publication. We also recognise that there might be new guidelines introduced, which we will endeavour to add as quickly as possible.

Speech Enabled
We will be updating our speech enablement policy very shortly.
