​ ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

Effective Date: 08/07/2025

We are committed to making this website accessible and inclusive for all users, regardless of ability or technology. We aim to ensure a positive and user-friendly experience for everyone who visits our site.

Our Commitment

We are actively working to improve the accessibility and usability of this website in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018, and in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA.

This website is built using the Wix platform, which provides tools and templates designed with accessibility in mind.

Measures We’ve Taken

To support accessibility, we have:

  • Enabled the Wix Accessibility Wizard to detect and fix common issues

  • Added alt text to all meaningful images and icons

  • Ensured that text has sufficient colour contrast with backgrounds

  • Used heading tags in a logical, hierarchical order (e.g. H1, H2, H3)

  • Written link text that clearly describes the link’s destination

  • Set a consistent navigation structure across all pages

  • Provided labels for all form fields and ensured forms are accessible by keyboard

  • Avoided the use of colour alone to convey meaning

  • Avoided flashing or flickering content that could trigger seizures

  • Regularly reviewed accessibility settings and Wix updates to maintain compliance

Accessibility Features on Wix

Wix offers accessibility tools that help visitors navigate the site, including:

  • Keyboard-only navigation

  • Screen reader compatibility

  • Customisable text size

  • Skip to content links (where available)

We continue to review and improve the site to ensure accessibility for all.
