Understanding your accessibility needs

Accessibility needs

We want our services and information to be accessible to everyone, and we’ve got a range of things in place to help with disabilities or access needs.

This includes an assistive toolbar on our website with helpful tools like a screen reader and language translation. We also have a sign language service for customers who use British Sign Language and a translation service for alternative languages.

When you request a service from us, you'll be asked some questions to make sure anything about yours or your household’s circumstances are taken into account. It’s important for us to understand your individual needs, so we can make the necessary adjustments to ensure the service provided is a success. 

For example, if you ask us to send you information, you may need it in a bigger font size. Or if we're coming to do a repair, you may need longer to answer the door.
