Our Accessibility Aim

We want users to be able to read, navigate, and understand this website as easily as possible, regardless of device, browser, access need, or assistive technology.

Our goal is to present public-service information in a clear, practical, and readable format.

  • Keep navigation simple and consistent.
  • Avoid relying only on colour to explain important information.
  • Use readable text sizes and spacing where possible.
  • Support keyboard navigation where the website theme and plugins allow it.

Assistive Technology

We aim for the website to work with common assistive technologies, including screen readers, browser zoom tools, keyboard navigation, and built-in device accessibility settings.
