This website is run by Public Health England. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website and its tools. For example, this means you should be able to:
- change colours, contrast levels and fonts
- zoom in up to 300% 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
We have also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
