How accessible is our website?

We know some parts of the website are not fully accessible:

Some PDF documents may not be fully accessible to screen reader software
Certain older videos may not have captions or transcripts
Third-party plugins or embedded content may not meet the same accessibility standards

We are working to fix these issues and ensure that all future content meets accessibility requirements.
