Accessibility Statement

Our website has been developed with the top priority of ensuring content is as accessible as possible to all visitors.
This has been achieved by adhering to best practices, including compliance with W3C standards.

This accessibility statement records the main steps that we have taken to accommodate the needs of anyone wishing to visit our website.

Standards Compliance

The pages on this website were built in 2018 to comply with a minimum standard of WCAG AA,
meeting all Priority 1 and 2 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

  • All pages on this site validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
  • All pages use structured semantic markup.
  • H1 tags are used for main titles, with H2, H3 and H4 tags used for sub-headings.

Navigation Aids

  • All pages contain a link to the home page.
  • The menu system is consistent throughout the website.
  • All pages include a search box.

Images

  • All content images include descriptive alt attributes.
  • Purely decorative images include null alt attributes.

Visual Design

This site uses cascading style sheets (CSS) for visual layout.

If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets, all content remains readable.

An alternative colour contrast version is available using the control above the search box at the top right-hand corner of the screen.

The design is responsive, meaning it adapts to different screen sizes including desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

Fonts

  • Relative font sizes are used, compatible with browser text-size settings.
  • Font size can also be increased using the control above the search box.
  • Font size and colour have been chosen to meet recommended sizing and contrast standards.

Some visually impaired users may require further customisation. Many browsers, including Internet Explorer and modern alternatives, allow users to apply their own Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) to override website styling.

Further information is available via the Help function within your web browser.
