Alternative formats

Areas that may not be accessible:- 

Document Downloads

The standard download formats for our documents are:

  • Adobe PDF
  • Microsoft Excel (Audits)

Every effort has been made to ensure these documents are accessible but the format and other outside factors limit this.

We provide downloads for Excel workbooks for audit documents that use them and scanned PDFs for records purposes. These documents are legally required to be on the website in their signed format and are not fully accessible.

All documents are provided alongside an accessible, structured HTML page to alleviate this.

Google Captcha

Due to how Google Captcha works in providing responses on a form using hidden text fields, contact forms may not be fully compliant.

This should not affect keyboard navigation or general usage, but it may interfere with some assistive technologies.
