Accessibility
We're always looking for ways to make our websites and online services easier to use.
Website accessibility
We follow accessibility guidelines that make our website simple to understand and easy to navigate, and all new page designs and code are reviewed by accessibility specialists.
Finding your way around
We design our websites so it's easy to find the information you need. If you get stuck, you'll find help pages, site maps and contact information to direct you to the correct pages. We have also chosen to use a high contrast colour scheme and a clear font type, size and colour.
If you use a screen reader
Not everyone uses a traditional browser, so we've designed our sites to work with screen readers. We use text (in ALT tags) to describe images and we use descriptive links (e.g. More about pensions instead of Click here) so you know where the link takes you.
Change your computer settings
There are lots of changes you can make to your computer to make browsing the internet a better experience. If you want to alter the way you see, hear or use a website, you can change the options in your internet browser. The BBC and AbilityNet have developed a website called My Web My Way. It has comprehensive and up-to-date information on changing your browser settings for Windows, Mac and Linux users.
Accessible communications
Our communications can be accessed in a wide variety of ways. information about our products and services can be supplied in printed format or by phone.
