How accessible this website is 

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible: 

· you cannot modify the line height or spacing of text 

· some links do not include text as to what you should expect, for example the Twitter links from the third party plugin Elfsight 

· some title levels do not follow a hierarchy e.g. H1, H2, H3 - this is due to the component based nature of some pages 

· colour contrast is under 4.5:1 for the Elfsight plugin that links to the Twitter feed
