Other
While we have a 'Skip to content' link on every page when new users access the website they will receive our cookie consent banner at the bottom of the page. This cannot be skipped over as it is important to get consent for cookies to comply with the General Data Protection Regulations.
Disproportionate burden
We are not currently claiming that any accessibility problems would be a disproportionate burden to fix.
What we’re doing to improve accessibility
