Navigation and accessing information

2.4.5 Multiple ways

Currently, users are unable to access content through multiple methods. There is no alternative navigation route, such as a search function or a fully populated sitemap, that allows users to reach the same content in more than one way.

Although a sitemap is available, it does not currently list all pages within the site.

We recognise the importance of providing multiple means of navigation to support diverse user needs and meet WCAG 2.2 [GC5] Level AA requirements. We are actively seeking expert advice and will implement appropriate solutions to resolve these issues as soon as possible.

Content that's not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

Third party content

Our website contains third party content. We do not have control over and are not responsible for the accessibility of this content, but we endeavour to work with the third party to improve its accessibility.
