We want as many people as possible to be able to use the SeeAbility website. For example, that means you should be able to: 

• Change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or device settings 
• Zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen 
• Navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software 
• Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver) 

We know that many people who use our website have learning disabilities, are autistic or have sight loss. We are committed to making our website and information accessible to people with disabilities. 

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 at level AA.  

How accessible this website is 

We regularly review the accessibility of our website and work to improve it. 

Most of our website is accessible, but some areas still need improvement. This means the website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 at level AA. 

PDF documents 

New documents added to our website should be accessible to people using screen readers and other assistive technology. Some older documents may not yet be fully accessible, but we are reviewing and updating them. 

If you need a document in a different format, please contact us. 

Third party websites and tools 

In some places on our website, we depend on third parties to deliver functionality and services that we cannot perform ourselves. Wherever possible, we work with third parties to make the services they provide accessible and meet WCAG 2.2 AA. 

We cannot guarantee that all our third-party applications and services will always remain accessible and usable due to various updates made by third party suppliers.

Ways to make websites easier to use 

Your browser or device has settings that can make websites easier to see, hear and use. Here are some useful options. 

Make text and pages bigger 

You can use your browser’s zoom controls to make everything on a page bigger or smaller. 

On a Windows computer: 

• Press Ctrl and + to zoom in  
• Press Ctrl and – to zoom out  
• Press Ctrl and 0 to return to the usual size  

On a Mac: 

• Press Command and + to zoom in  
• Press Command and – to zoom out  
• Press Command and 0 to return to the usual size  

On a phone or tablet, you can usually use two fingers to zoom in and out. You can also change the text size in your device settings. 

Change colours and contrast 

Most computers, phones and tablets allow you to: 

• Use dark mode  
• Increase the contrast  
• Invert the colours  
• Reduce the brightness  
• Use colour filters  

You can find these options in the accessibility or display settings on your device. 

Use the website with a keyboard 

You can use a keyboard to move around the website without using a mouse. 

• Press Tab to move to the next link, button or form field  
• When you first press Tab, select Skip to main content to move past the menu and go straight to the main information 
• Press Shift and Tab to move to the previous item  
• Press Enter to open a link or select an item  
• Press the Space bar to select some buttons and checkboxes  
• Use the arrow keys to move through some menus and options 

A visible outline will show which part of the page is currently selected. 

Find information on a page 

You can search for a word or phrase on the page you are viewing. 

On a Windows computer, press Ctrl and F. 

On a Mac, press Command and F. 

A search box will open. Type the word or phrase you want to find. 

Use a screen reader 

A screen reader is software that reads text and other information on the screen aloud. It can also provide information through a braille display. 

Common screen readers include: 

• NVDA and JAWS on Windows computers  
• Narrator on Windows computers  
• VoiceOver on Apple computers, iPhones and iPads  
• TalkBack on Android phones and tablets  

The SeeAbility website has been designed to work with screen readers. We use headings, labels and other page structure to help people understand and move around the content. 

Use built-in accessibility settings 

Your computer, phone or tablet has accessibility settings that can change how it works. 

Depending on your device, these may include: 

• Making text and buttons bigger  
• Magnifying part of the screen  
• Reading text aloud  
• Using voice commands  
• Changing colours and contrast  
• Reducing movement and animation  
• Using captions  
• Changing how the keyboard, mouse or touchscreen works  

Easy read information 

Easy read uses simple language, clear layouts and images to make information easier to understand. 

We have a range of easy read information and guides. When a resource is available in easy read, we clearly label it. 

You can also read our easy read guide to website accessibility.
