A large number of Internet users with disabilities can find websites difficult or even impossible to use because of the way that they have been designed. Prudential plc recognises the need to ensure that the website meets or exceeds the requisite standards.
The website is being developed to be as accessible as possible and to be compatible with the types of adaptive technology used by people with disabilities, including screen readers.
Currently we have included facilities to allow the user to change the text size through the browser and be navigable by Voice browser. We will continue to develop the website to increase the level of accessibility.
Navigating this website
You can use the access key M and it will take you to the main menu; from there you can use the tab key to navigate through the links.
