Introduction
This page has been written to guide you in using the website.
To find out what the accessibility level of this website is, see the statement of compliance with the General Accessibility Improvement Framework (RGAA) 3 2017.
The global Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) defines Web accessibility as follows:
Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the Web. More specifically, they can perceive, understand, navigate and interact with the Web, and contribute to the Web. Web accessibility also benefits others, particularly older people with changing abilities due to ageing.
Web accessibility encompasses all disabilities that affect access to the Web, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive and neurological.
