Accessibility limitations

Due to certain constraints, we have had to include technologies and features that may cause accessibility issues. These may include video content provided via a 3rd party .We are making every effort to overcome these limitations by improving their accessibility and failing that, can provide accessible alternatives.

Accessibility guidelines

We work towards AA level of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0. These guidelines are the internationally recognised benchmark for building accessible websites and explain how to make websites more accessible for people with disabilities.

Equally important to us is that, by working to these guidelines, we also make our website more user-friendly for all our customers.
