Web Accessibility Statement

Whilst creating this web site we have made every effort to ensure that all pages are accessible to everyone according to the W3C WAI guidelines. Whilst many W3C standards remain intentionally vague and therefore subject to individual judgement, some can be automatically tested. We have run a variety of recognised automated tests and reviewed all pages created. We have made every effort to comply with the accessibility standards and guidelines from the W3C WAI to at least priority 2, though we recognise that owing to the many different interpretations of the guidelines, and the nature of the information being represented, there may be instances where this may be seen not to be the case.

If you have any difficulty accessing any part of the site, please let us know and we will do our best to rectify the problem immediately.

W3C Standards:

We have made every effort to ensure the following:

All pages are W3C Web Accessibility Initiative AA approved, complying with priority 1 and 2 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. (By default most pages become AAA, priority 3, compliant to the W3C WCAG)
All pages created are Section 508 Guidelines approved.
All HTML pages on this site validate as W3C XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
All Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) used on this site validate as W3C Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 CSS2 Specification.

Accessibility in Design:

We have made every effort to ensure the following:

All pages on this site use structured semantic markup.

Content has been separated from visual design and cascading style sheets (CSS) are used for visual layout.
Only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers are used.
If your browser or browsing device does not support style sheets, the page content is still readable.
Navigation items have background changes to highlight links.
Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target.
Links are written to make sense out of context.
Links to external web sites open up a new browser window where this is supported by the browser.
All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes.
Decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.
No images are used to exclusively convey information.
No information is exclusively conveyed using colour.
Tables are only used for layout purposes if there is no other feasible way of representing the information to the required effect.
