 How accessible this website is

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

  • The skip to menu link does not work.  This will make the page a little bit more difficult for screen reader users to navigate.
  • The landmarks are not in the correct order.  This could cause some confusion for screen reader users.
  • There are not multiple ways of navigating to content on the site.  Because the site is quite small, this should not cause significant difficulties.
