We have developed this Website to ensure that it is usable by as many people as possible, regardless of age, technology, device or disability. For example, this means you should be able to:

● zoom in up to four hundred per cent (400%) without the text spilling off the screen;
● navigate most of the Website using just a keyboard;
● navigate most of the Website using speech recognition software; and
● listen to most of the Website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver).
We have also made the Website text as simple as possible to understand.
If you have a disability, AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use in the My Computer My Way section on its website.

Statement:
● The site has been built using Square Space a website builder and hosting service that allows users to create websites any coding knowledge.

Because Square Space users have a lot of creative freedom, they also have the ability to build websites that are not always accessible by all. Square Space believes that accessibility is always a work in progress, and encourages everyone to strive towards creating beautiful designs with accessibility in mind.
● Square Space provides an extensive resource library to help creators make their sites more accessible for everyone. Square Space is working towards new features on current templates to improve accessibility.
● We will share any known issues we encounter, or that are reported to us, with a Square Space expert who will provide guidance whenever possible.
