With specific reference to the items listed in the section ‘Non-accessible content’:
On 1 (Podcast alternative text content), we are actively working to provide this content and hope to have it available before the end of April 2026. We will update this statement once it is available.
On 2 ('alt text' for past Event and News images), this is an exceptionally high volume of images and therefore very significant volume of work. It will take us some time to fill this gap, but we aim to have worked through this by the end of September 2026, and will update this statement with our progress.
