  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We've also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
School exemption

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to ‘the exemptions’ listed below.

Primary and secondary schools or nurseries - except for the content people need in order to use their services, for example a form that lets you outline school meal preferences.

Non-compliant content

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

  • Older PDF Documents: Many older PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software.
  • Embedded Google Maps: These are not accessible within the site.

We are committed to addressing these issues as soon as possible.

Images: We ensure that, where necessary, we include alternative text for images. If any images lack a text alternative, making them inaccessible to screen readers, we will rectify this if notified.
