Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reason(s)
(a) The content is not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
PDFs and other documents
PDFs that are not essential to providing our services and were published before 23 September 2018 are out of scope of the regulations.
Most of our old PDFs and downloadable documents require improved title descriptions, can be difficult to navigate due to poor use of bookmarks, are not fully machine readable and are untagged. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.1.1, 1.3.1, 2.4.2, 2.4.5 and 3.1.1.
Third party content
