We are fully committed to making our information accessible to everyone.

This website has been crafted by Burning Leaf Creatives on our behalf. They aim to make it as accessible as possible to everyone, including people with disabilities and those who use assistive technologies to browse the web.

We have listed below the range of activities that we have undertaken to ensure that all our information is accessible.

All the documents that you can download from this website are written in English only. We have provided the same content as web pages so you can translate it into your chosen language.

Screen readers

Screen readers can be useful to enable blind and partially-sighted people to browse the internet and carry out other tasks using their device.

There are a variety of screen readers available.

Our website is designed to be compliant with screen readers through meaningful sequencing, labeling of images and more.
