High contrast: To support users with colour deficits, we’ve set a high contrast between different elements on the webpage.

 

Colour blindness: This tool changes the colour scheme to greyscale to help provide the best visibility for colour-blind users.

 

Media provided: The website will not include any media that flashes more than three times per second, to eliminate the risk of seizures.
