Website accessibility is about making website content available to all users, particularly those with disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities regardless of their browsing technology.
How we have made our website accessible
We are committed to making our website accessible to as many people as possible. The site is designed to meet all double-A (AA) accessibility checkpoints defined by the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).
The measures we have taken to make sure our website is accessible include:

- using alternative text for all images on our website;
- using valid XHTML on all our web pages;
- conducting regular validation checks to ensure the HTML code of our web pages is valid;
- running regular spot checks of our pages against accessibility testing tools and fix any errors.
