- modify the spacing of text
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- navigate most of the website using speech recognition software

Compliance status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities.
WCAG’s four main principles state that websites should be:
- Perceivable – Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
- Operable – User interface components and navigation must be operable.
- Understandable – Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable.
- Robust – Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.
Our websites are partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Work towards full compliance began in 2020 and will complete in 2021. The compliance program started with an audit of the websites and recommendations on how to remedy impediments to accessibility. Some examples of already implemented changes are skip to content links, keyboard navigation of forms, and captioning of some video content.
