NNL is committed to ensuring that its website is accessible to all users, including people with disabilities. We are actively working to enhance the accessibility and usability of our website and adhere to many of the available accessibility standards, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA.

How accessible this website is

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand where possible.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
