Our Commitment to Web Accessibility
You will find this web accessibility icon on every page of our website.
It can be found in the centre-left of each page. Clicking on this icon will open our accessibility widget along the left side of your screen. The widget provides 12 buttons, allowing you to adjust the page to be more accessible to you. Most of the buttons have multiple options you can toggle through by clicking the button through each option. The options available are:
- Contrast: This allows you to switch between an inverted colour scheme, a dark high-contrast scheme, and a light high-contrast scheme.
- Highlight Links: This makes all links on every page stand-out by having yellow, underlined text on a black background.
- Bigger Text: This allows you to switch between four different options of larger text.
- Text Spacing: This increases the space between words, offering three levels of increased space.
- Pause Animations: This will disable any animated elements on the page.
- Hide Images: This will remove images from the page, allowing you to see only text.
- Dyslexia Friendly: This will switch all text to the Dyslexic-friendly font, or to a clean, Legible Font.
- Cursor: This offers three alternatives to the standard mouse cursor: a larger version of the normal cursor, a Reading Mask that helps focus on a small part of the page, or a Reading Guide to help you keep track of where you are currently reading.
- Tooltips: This will raise the alt text on images across our website as a tooltip when you hover over the image with a mouse. Alt text is normally used by screen readers to describe images to their users.
- Line Height: This increases the space between lines, offering three levels of increased space.
- Text Align: This will override the default text alignment on the page, making all text aligned to the Left, Right, Centre, or Justified.
- Saturation: This adjusts the colours on the page, offering Low Saturation, High Saturation, and Desaturated (greyscale).
Under these options is a button to Reset All Accessibility Settings. This will turn-off all options and return to the default look of the page.
