Technical information about this website

This website has been designed to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2 Level AA and be voice accessible. All reasonable efforts have been made to ensure that top level and main content pages are compliant to a minimum of AA of WCAG.

An accessibility assessment of the website was undertaken by Horisk Leslie Development in early 2025. This included an automated accessibility check, a manual visual and functionality test in the major browsers, and manual test with assistive technology based on GDS research findings.

An accessibility audit was conducted by the Scottish Government in August 2025 testing a representative sample of pages using:

  • Microsoft Edge with JAWS on Desktop (Windows)
  • Microsoft Edge with ZoomText on Desktop (Windows)
  • Microsoft Edge with Dragon Pro 16 on Desktop (Windows)

The website has been updated to address the issues highlighted in this audit.
