Some of our PDF and word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDF documents with information on how users can access our services, and forms published as word documents for users to complete. We plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages.

The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDF documents or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they are not essential to providing our services.
