What are we doing?

To help us make the website a positive place for everyone, we’ve been using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone.

The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA). We’ve chosen Level AA as the target for all of our websites and landing pages.

We are using automated tools and have hired a firm to help us find issues and monitor compliance as we make improvements.
