Accessibility limitations

We aim to make our website meet the standards described above. However, some sections of our website do not currently meet these standards:

Non HTML content

Documents such as PDF, Excel and Word do not meet the web standards described above. Where possible, an accessible summary of each document is provided.

We are working to make these documents accessible, but the website contains hundreds of documents and it will take time to make them all accessible.

Where we use video or audio content, we will provide a transcript
