Accessibility Statement

As part of our commitment to inclusivity and support for all learners, the LRC website has been redesigned to remove the barriers to accessing digital resources and meet the needs of all able and disabled learners so that learners can be able to:

  • zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen,
  • read the content with a screen reader,
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software, and keyboard; please see the access keys below on this page.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a vision impairment.
