The new website will be designed to:
Meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards
Provide improved compatibility with screen readers and assistive technologies
Ensure full keyboard navigation
Use accessible colour contrast and clear typography
Include properly structured content and alternative text for images
Offer more accessible document formats wherever possible
We aim to launch the new website in due course and will update this statement when it goes live.
