This Website

We have tried to make this website as accessible as possible - particularly for people with a learning difficulty.

  • We have tried to write this website in plain English, but please do contact us if there are parts you think are difficult to understand.

  • Because lots of people with learning difficulties aren't aware of screen-readers, we thought it was important that people could listen to what is written on the page by simply clicking a button (top right).

  • If you want to increase the text size, you can by going to the bottom of the screen and using the controls

  • We welcome any feedback / ideas to make our site more accessible. You can contact us by clicking here.
