Accessibility

We try to make our new site as usable as possible whilst also following standards and guidelines laid out by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in their Web Accessibility Initiative. This means that wherever possible‚ all users enjoy the same quality of service.

Standards compliance

Most pages will comply with all priority 1 and 2 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

All other pages meet priority 1 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

All pages validate as transitional XHTML 1.0.

Visual design

The site will use cascading style sheets for visual layout‚ meaning greater usability for assistive technology.

If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all‚ the content of each page will “degrade gracefully” so that it is still readable.

Pop-up windows

The use of pop-up windows on this site has been kept to a minimum. If a link opens a new browser window then this is explained in the title attribute of the link.

Changing your browser settings

It is possible to change fonts and colours using your browser settings
