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 types listed below are non-accessible for the following reasons:
- some of our videos are not captioned, or may rely on auto-generated captions and may not be completely accurate
- some of our documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software

We do not believe there is any content on this site for which we need to claim a disproportionate burden.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
PDFs and other documents
Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how users can access our services, and forms published as Word documents. We plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages.
The accessibility regulations
do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018
if they’re not essential to providing our services.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
Live video
We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is
exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations
What we’re doing to improve accessibility
We are undertaking a comprehensive review of all websites and services to test, identify and fix accessibility issues.
