- zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen,
- navigate the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software, and
- listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver).
We have also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
