This Statement was prepared following an audit by a third-party, Vially, which focused on the aforementioned digital assets. The audit was carried out using a combination of manual and automated accessibility testing, and multiple platforms;
In advance of this audit taking place, we engaged with the relevant third-party partners, who helped build and/host our digital assets, to improve to the websites’ overall accessibility and enhance our overall compliance with the new regulations.
