- Accessibility statement
Overview
This page explains how we make our website accessible. It also tells people how to contact us if they cannot access the information they need.
Our accessibility standards
We want this website to be as easy as possible for everyone to use.
This includes supporting assistive technologies that allow people to read or listen to the content on this site.
If you can’t access the information you need, we can help.
Accessibility is designing information, technology, and spaces so everyone can use them easily.
We aim to meet the New Zealand Government Web Accessibility Standard and the international Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2 Level AA).
These standards remove barriers and help make website content easier for more people to use.
Using this website
To make this website easier to use, you can:
- enlarge text on your screen
- use a keyboard to move around the site
- use a screen reader on this website.
Alternative formats
Our content is designed to work with accessibility tools such as screen readers and text-to-speech software.
Types of alternative formats
Easy Read
Easy Read is a way of communicating information using straightforward language and supporting pictures. It assists people with learning disabilities and others who may find standard written information hard to process.
Our Easy Read library includes information on the Family Court, reporting to police, and ways to keep yourself safe.
Electronic Braille
Electronic Braille is a file that can be read using Braille technology. It gives people who read Braille another way to access written information from this website.
Large print
Large print uses bigger text and clear spacing to make information easier to read. It can help people who have low vision or who find standard-sized text hard to use.
Audio
Audio files let you listen to written information instead of reading it on screen or on paper.
This can help people who are blind, have low vision or prefer to hear information.
