What we’re doing to improve accessibility

We will work with partners to assist in publishing HTML pages instead of less accessible formats like PDF, when it is possible. When possible, we will add captions to the submitted videos. We are still looking for a solution to ensure that GDPR Cookie Consent generated content includes the appropriate ARIA attributes.
