The problems faced by disabled people are also evident online with many websites failing to address the rights of disabled users to have the same access to information and services online as other users.
The highest standard of accessibility
We have worked hard to make build a website that whilst visually attractive, meets the highest standards of accessibility as defined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) by the World Wide Web Consortium (Opens in new window).
Our website is managed by a content management system (CMS) and passes the majority of checkpoints as set out in the WCAG version 1.0 (Opens in new window). The only checkpoint we have not been able to make in this version of the site is:
Assistive technologies
Our website has been designed to industry standards, uses cascading stylesheets (CSS) 2.0 and validate as either XHTML 1.0 Strict or XHTML 1.0 Transitional. You can find more information XHTML 1.0 (Opens in new window) on the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) website (Opens in new window). This means that all our users, including those using assistive technologies should find the website easy to use.
BrowseAloud
