Site Accessibility
Access for all
We aim to make our website accessible to as many people as possible. As part of Level 1 accessibility as set out by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) the following rules apply:
- Alternative text versions of all graphics are provided to describe the image.
- If tables or bar-charts, pie-charts etc are presented as graphics a text alternative is provided.
- On each page where Adobe PDF files are used users are referred to full details on accessing these files.
- Background colours and text colours provide the maximum contrast.
- Information is not provided in a way that makes colour vision or a colour monitor essential.
- A set of access keys have been developed for the use of people who do not wish to, or cannot, use a mouse.
Access keys
All site functions can be accessed using the keyboard only. Shortcut keys allow fast navigation to important pages. We follow UK government recommendations for access key assignments.
