Accessibility
Many Internet users find websites difficult or even impossible to use, simply because of the way they are designed. At Centrica Connected Home, we work hard to provide services and products that are helpful to all our customers. That goes for the website, too.
It is important to us that the site is available to everyone, including those with sight, hearing and motor impairments. We have made sure the majority of pages comply with the key requirements of the W3C (WorldWide Web Consortium) best practice accessibility guidelines. We are actively working to improve the site so that every page will conform to the AA level of the WCAG 2.0 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).
We are aware that needs are often diverse and standard guidelines do not always satisfy individual concerns. If you do have any specific problems using this site, please let us know. We will make every effort to help you access our content.
Some users may need to alter the size and type of font, and the colour scheme of a page in order to be able to view it. You can do this by altering your browser settings.
