Web accessibility and language toolbar

The accessibility toolbar is innovative cloud-based software that lets visitors to our website view and use it in the way that works best for them.

We have added the web accessibility and language toolbar to our website to make it accessible and inclusive for as many people as possible.

It helps the one in five people in the UK who have a disability, including those with common conditions like sight loss and dyslexia, to access this website in the way that suits them best.

It also meets the needs of the one in ten people in the UK who don’t speak English as their first language, by being able to translate our web content into over 100 different languages.

 

How do I access the tool?

To use this tool, click the 'Accessibility tools' button that's placed at the top right of any of our pages

After you click on the button, the  toolbar opens and displays a range of different options for customising how the website looks and how you can access the content.

  • Download the text as an MP3 file to play it where and when it suits you
  • Change font sizes and colours
  • Customise background colour
