Accessibility of the presentations

We've taken care to provide alternative text, used a good colour contrast and tried to make the whole presentation accessible in general. However, there will be accessibility issues with the software used to view the slides and we haven't carried out a formal audit of the slides. It's likely that we've missed things. We recommend that you make your own check before use.
