Accessibility Features On Our Website

Compliance With Standards

Our company makes every effort to conform with the terms of the 1995 Disability Discrimination Act relating to online provision of services.

Our website is built to at least Level A in accordance with the World Wide Web Consortium´s (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) guidelines, as endorsed by the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB). A large print text only version of all pages is also included to increase accessibility.

All HTML and CSS has also been validated to conform to W3C recommendations.

Structured, Semantic Mark-Up

HTML heading tags are used to convey document structure. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags for subtitles, and so on.

Images

All content images used in the website include descriptive alt attributes, including text alternatives for any image based text. Purely decorative graphics include empty alt attributes.

Colours

We have checked all font and background color combinations against the different color blindness conditions and ensured that all information is still clear.

Style Sheets

All pages use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). If your browser or browsing device does not support style sheets at all, the use of structured semantic mark-up ensures that the content of each page is still readable and clearly structured.

Forms

All forms follow a logical Tab sequence. Labels are associated with fields using HTML label.

Text Only Versions

The entire site is duplicated as text only pages printed in large print Arial for increased readability. Navigation menus are marked up as HTML lists.
