Non accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
PDFs and other documents
Many of our older PDFs and Word documents do not meet accessibility standards - for example, they may not be structured so they’re accessible to a screen reader. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (name, role value).
New PDFs or Word documents we publish will aim to meet accessibility standards.
