Page with no headings Accessibility Checkpoint

Description

Each section of content should begin with a heading element (h1, h2, h3), but this page has no headings.

Help

In HTML place headings before each section of content, making sure the main heading is h1, sub-headings are h2 and so on. For PDFs produced from Word, use the Heading 1, Heading 2 and Heading 3 styles.
