Accessibility

While our site has been created to be usable ‘as is’, many people are likely to get the most accessible experience of using the site by customising their computer, tablet or smartphone to suit their individual needs – for example: to get the site spoken to them, to change its colour scheme, or increase the size of its fonts.

If that sounds like it would be useful to you, we recommend you visit BBC My Web, My Way (external site) to watch videos of how these customisations – either using the accessibility features of your computer/tablet/smartphone or through installing assistive technologies – might suit you.

While we are working on this, if you do have any difficulties customising the site to your needs, please contact us.

Limitations of this site’s accessibility

We’ve designed, coded and tested this site to be accessible, including a skip to content link, alt text on all images and using semantic HTML code to structure the pages. However, you may find some accessibility limitations at present which we are working to fix internally and with 3rd party suppliers:

• we are working with the supplier of the contact us form to make the error messages more descriptive
• we are working with the supplier to update of the framework css to fix some minor validation issues
