Preparation of this accessibility statement

This statement was prepared on 10 January 2024. The statement was last reviewed on 22 February 2024 and is based on a partial external accessibility audit which was carried out on this website in October 2023 by the UK Government Digital Service. The audit followed the WCAG Evaluation Methodology.

The audit carried out by the UK Government Digital Service only tested a subset of pages and did not test for all WCAG errors.

Ongoing internal reviews are conducted on content published to this website and design system components used to construct the site.
