Our commitment to users

We build accessibility into all our web work, using universal design principles that ensure our pages can be viewed and navigated effectively by all users.

It's a commitment that starts at the commissioning stage and covers everything from design to coding and editorial.

This site meets the Priority 1, Priority 2 and a number of the Priority 3 standards set out by the Web Accessibility Initiative - the internationally recognized standard of the World Wide Web Consortium.

It has been designed with the following features:

• Simple, consistent site navigation;
• A site map;
• Navigational shortcuts for users of text only browsers and page readers;
• Clear and simple grammar;
• An easy-to-read font type;
• Changeable text sizes;
• Suitable foreground and background colour contrast; and
• Meaningful text equivalents for pictures.
