Compliance status

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the reasons stated.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

Errors:

A 1.3.1 Info and Relationships: Container element is empty

A 1.3.1 Info and Relationships: Role not inside the required context

Disproportionate burden

There are many PDFs on the website that we are obliged by regulation to publish quarterly and annually. Historically these were not screened for accessibility. While we make every effort to ensure accessibility of all newly published documents, it would be a huge task to retrospectively make them all compliant.

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

PDFs and other documents The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services. For example, we do not plan to fix historical annual or quarterly financial reports.

Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
