Accessibility

We are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone by conforming to web accessibility guidelines (Worldwide Web Consortium website). In this section we provide a range of information to help people access our site.

Your myFund account

You have access to a personalised online account, called mFund, where you can easily manage your pension. If you haven’t done so already, you can register for your account. We’ve also included a video to help you through the process.

Once logged in, you can manage your pension with self-serve options and access guidance tools to help you plan for life after work.

Accessibility toolbar

The accessibility toolbar allows you to customise the website in a way that works best for you.

The toolbar can support everyone, but it is particularly helpful if you have visual, hearing, cognitive or neurodivergent needs.

The toolbar can be accessed from this website at any time. Just look for a blue circle with the person icon in it, which can be found on the right of your screen.

Once you’ve found it, you can customise how the website looks and functions. Options include but are not limited to; 

• Changing font sizes
• Applying filters to help colour blindness
• Enabling text to speech, so you can hear the website content
• Modifying text and colour contrast
• Highlighting page links
• Pausing flashing animations
• A variety of language options

Just open the toolbar and click the option you need. You can select more than one at a time, but you do need to deselect any options if you don’t want to use them anymore.

There is also a ‘reset’ button which will clear all of the options you have selected. The accessibility toolbar will remember your preferences for the next time you visit the site. 

We have also added closed captions to our videos, where possible.

Our accessibility toolbar - frequently asked questions page has answers to some of the questions you might have about the accessibility toolbar. 

Simple language

We aim to make all of our content as easy as possible to read and understand.

If you prefer to use our website in a language other than English, you can use the accessibility toolbar to change it on this website.

Alternative formats

 You can request information in an alternative format by emailing Format@Railpen.com. We’ll consider your request and aim to support your needs as best we can.
