Accessibility

We have tried to make this website as accessible as possible andeasy to use for everyone, regardless of circumstance or ability.

Our aims is that all our pages comply with the WCAG Priority 2 checkpoints as aminimum requirement.

We are making every effort to ensure that we don't exclude any users. For example:

  • We try to use clear and simple language.
  • We use alternative text for all our imagesĀ 
  • The HTML we produce conforms to the standard: XHTML 1.0 Transitional
  • We always include a text transcript when we publish videos on our blogs.
  • We have tested the colours we use in the design for contrast.

Wetry to publish all our text content as accessible HTML rather than inother formats such as PDF. Where we do publish PDFs or other formatsour policy is to make them as accessible as we can.

We decidednot to use access keys after they caused confusion in our user testing.(The users who might have benefited from access keys already usedkeyboard shortcuts, and said that additional, site-specific access keyswere not helpful.)

Please contact us if you have any questions,if you are having difficulties using the site, or would like to knowmore about what we are doing to make our websites accessible.
