Education can transform people’s lives and we've always believed that it should be accessible to everyone. That means our content – digital and printed – must be accessible to everyone.

Inclusivity is one of our values. We appreciate people for who they are. We do our best to demonstrate that in our content, by creating words and pictures that are inclusive.

These guidelines are designed to help us do that. You'll also find specific guidance about various aspects of accessibility throughout this guide.

The guidance in this section draws on the 18F style guide and the NHS content style guide.
