3. Accessibility Standards
3.1 WCAG 2.1 Level AA
Our website is designed and maintained with reference to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines are organized around four principles – content must be:

- Robust – content must be robust enough to be interpreted by assistive technologies

If you encounter an accessibility barrier not listed here, please let us know using the contact details in Section 10.
9. Third-Party Content
Some content on our website may be provided by third-party platforms or embedded tools (such as video players or mapping services).
