Accessibility Statement

-
Providing alternative text for images.

Including captions for videos.

Using consistent and clear language.
-
Increasing the contrast between font and background colors.
-
Making clickable items larger and easier to select.

Please be aware that our attempts to maintain accessibility and usability are ongoing. While we strive to make the website as accessible as possible, we know some issues can be encountered by different assistive technology as the range of assistive technology is wide and varied.
