Please note: While we aim to provide full accessibility to all content on our website, some older pages may not yet meet all the standards outlined here and due to restrictions in the functionality of the Content Management System, the nesting of heading levels may not be correct. Furthermore, some of the third-party content, such as other websites to which we provide links, may not be as accessible as our website.

Accessibility features on this website

The following features improve navigation for screen reader users, keyboard navigation and users of text-only browsers

Structured, semantic markup: Headings and navigation menus

HTML heading tags are used to convey document structure. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags for subtitles and H3 tags for introductory paragraphs. 

Navigation menus are marked up as HTML lists. This ensures that the number of links in the list is read out at the start and it can be skipped easily.

All content images used in this site include alternative descriptions. Purely decorative graphics include empty alternative descriptions.
