Accessibility

Our website is built using Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), according to World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards. It is designed to comply with our own accessibility standards, in line with best practice.

Browser compatibility

We aim to always optimise the website to the latest browsers to ensure maximised browser compatibility.

Our sites fully utilise CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to separate content from presentation, reducing file size and increasing download speeds. Most images have been regulated to the CSS document and where possible text alternatives for graphical content have been provided.

The site is also accessible to users whose browsers do not support JavaScript.

Navigational aids

All pages of the site are navigable with the keyboard and mouse.

You can import your own style sheet onto this website for your ease of access. This can be done in Internet Explorer by following these steps:

• select ‘Tool’
• select ‘Internet Options’

• chose the corresponding checkboxes to ignore the font sizes, font styles and ignore colours
