Accessibility information
We have tried 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 of our users enjoy the same quality of service. If you have any comments in this area or suggestions on how we can make the website more user-friendly then please contact us.
Visual design
- This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout‚ meaning greater usability for assistive technology.
- The site uses only relative font sizes‚ compatible with the user-specified “text size” option in visual browsers.
- 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.
Changing your browser settings
It is possible to change fonts and colours used throughout the site by changing your browser settings.
Links
Links have title attributes that describe the link in greater detail‚ unless the text of the link already describes the target. If you are using a mouse‚ or other pointing device‚ these can be viewed by hovering over the link text.
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.
Access keys
Most but not all browsers support jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the website. On Windows‚ you can press ALT + an access key; on a Mac‚ you can press Control + an access key. Pressing ENTER will then take you to that page
