Change the contrast

If you have dyslexia or sight impairment you may find our ‘High Visibility’ option more user-friendly. This changes both the text and background colour of the site to give better contrast.

It’s easy to switch to the ‘High Visibility’ setting – just select the colour icons labelled D, B, and Y in the top right hand corner of each page.
