Recognised limitation
Whilst we strive to make this site accessible, there are some limitations.
Although we always aim to communicate as clearly as possible, some blog posts may be technical in nature and so will require a reasonable level of technical understanding.
Where third-party software solutions are used, for example hosted videos, we will aim to use services that provide a more complete accessibility offering, such as closed captioning.
Our technical approach
Wherever possible we follow the guidelines given by the W3C in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.
