Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Disproportionate burden

Videos

Videos from external organisations do not have transcripts or audio descriptions of relevant content. At present we do not have the time or resources to create these.

Rectifying this would require time and resources that we don't currently have available, we believe at present creating transcripts or audio descriptions would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. We will be reviewing this regularly and updating videos as and when we are able to.
