Accessibility
This accessibility statement applies to the Environmental Standards Scotland website, and it outlines the accessibility standards to which the website has been built, and how you can get in touch with us if you need further assistance.
This website has been built to be as accessible as possible for everyone, which means you should be able to do any or all of the following:
- Change colours, contrast levels and fonts
- Zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
- Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
Further advice from AbilityNet on how to make your device easier to use if you have a disability is available in their AbilityNet My Computer My Way section.
