It focuses on removing barriers that might prevent users from engaging with online content, providing an inclusive digital experience for individuals with various needs.

We have adapted this site in accordance with WCAG [ 2.1 ] guidelines, and have made the site accessible to the level of [ AA ]. This site's contents have been adapted to work with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard use. As part of this effort, we have also [remove irrelevant information]:
