New accessibility and languages toolbar
9 September 2024
Information on our website is now easier to access with our new accessibility and languages toolbar.
We’re committed to supporting people from different backgrounds, and with different identities and experiences. This includes making sure that information on our website can be accessed and understood.
To enhance access to our information and services, we have introduced a new toolbar on our website. This toolbar offers different ways to change how our website looks so that it meets individual needs.
Toolbar features
You can use the toolbar to:
- read text out loud
- download an audio file of the text being read out loud
- change the font, font size and colours
- turn on rulers and text masks to help you focus on specific parts of the screen
- look up what certain words mean in the dictionary
- remove all the design elements and view the text and links only
- make parts of the screen bigger with the magnifying glass
- change all the writing to a different language
- access a user guide which explains how the toolbar works.
We’re trialling this toolbar for 12 months and we’d value feedback on how it meets your needs. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like to share your feedback.
