News updates

Your RPS website now features a new accessibility toolbar, which allows you to use the website in a way that works best for you.

Aiming to make things as easy as possible for you, the toolbar can support everyone, but it will be particularly helpful if you have:

• visual needs
• hearing needs
• cognitive needs
• neurodivergent needs

We want to make our online services available to everyone. This new feature means you can have content read aloud, as well as customise how you can view the site to suit your individual needs.

New features to help you understand and manage your pension

The accessibility toolbar is available on desktops, mobiles and tablets. It allows you to customise the website with options such as:

• a text to speech feature, so you can hear the website content instead
• changing font sizes
• applying filters to help with colour blindness
• highlighting page links
• language choices
• modifying text and colour contrasts
• pausing flashing animations

This means if you have additional needs you can use the website in a way that works best for you, helping you manage your pension more effectively.

Using the toolbar

You can access the toolbar from this website at any time. Just look for a blue circle with the person icon on it. This can be found on the right of your screen.

You don’t have to download anything to use it. You can customise how the website looks and works even if you’re not logged into your online myRPS account. 

You can select the option/s that you need, and choose more than one at a time if you need to. If you don’t want to use a particular feature, you can just deselect that option.
