Accessibility

We want to make sure our website is accessible to everyone – that’s why we’re working towards complying with Priority 2 of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. We’re continually improving our website to meet these guidelines, and we’ve designed the site with the following parameters in mind:

Page design

We design our pages to be viewed on a variety of browsers, using responsive page design allowing clear navigation on mobiles.

Page structure

We use header elements to structure the pages and make the information clear.

Stylesheets

We use stylesheets to keep font sizes consistent, with the exception of graphical text.

Text

You can increase and decrease the size of text, to make it easier for you to read, by using the ‘View’ option in your browser.

Images

We use ‘Alt’ tags on our images that describe what the image is if you can’t see it.

Colour

We avoid using colour exclusively to display information.

Downloading PDF documents

You can read PDF documents with a screen reader: with a screen reader, visit the Access Adobe website

Or you can use Adobe’s online conversion tool for pdfs

Browser compatibility

We support all current major browsers on mobile, tablet and computers
