Accessibility

We recognise the importance of providing a website that is accessible and usable for all users. To do this we have adhered to a set of standards and guidelines.

APPROACH

We believe that this website meets the requirements of the level A criteria of the World Wide Web Consortium Web Accessibility Initiative (WCAG WAI) 2.0 guidelines.

FEATURES

Text size - You can adjust the text size by using your browser’s text resize options:

View – Text Size

View - Zoom - Your desired zoom option

ALTERNATIVE TEXT FOR IMAGES

All images have been given appropriate alternative text.

HEADING ELEMENTS

HTML heading elements have been used to represent page structure, supporting assistive technologies that allow page navigation from heading to heading.

LINK TEXT

A hyperlink should make sense out of context and all hyperlinks are clearly presented in a different text style.

JAVASCRIPT INDEPENDENCE 

Where JavaScript or other scripts are used for navigation or functionality, an alternative mechanism has been put in place in case your browser does not support these scripts.

COLOUR CONTRAST

Text and background colours have been checked to ensure the contrast is adequate. Also, no information is referenced by colour alone.

STYLE SHEETS

We have used Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to control the presentation of pages and have used properly structured markup for content. If style sheets are not supported or are turned off, information on the site can still be accessed and read.

 

If you have trouble accessing any of the information on the website, please do contact us.
