Accessibility

We have made every effort to ensure this web site is easily readable using 'plain english'.

Our target is to meet or exceed W3C's Web Accessibility standards and guidelines (Level AA) to ensure that this site can be used as easily as possible by everyone. The current exceptions are some of the map software and some pages on licensing. The software providers are looking at accessibility issues in relation to these. If you have any difficulty viewing pages, please contact the relevant service area. 

We continually review our site and modify pages to remove accessibility problems for people with disabilities and to make information more accessible for all users. If users experience problems we would like to know so that it can make corrections where necessary. If you find areas of the site that difficult to access please use the feedback form to let us know.
