Accessibility

We recognise and value the provision of information on this website in a format which is accessible to all, regardless of ability or disability. To ensure that this happens, we have programmed our website following web standards and accessibility guidelines as defined by the W3C. The site is developed using valid XHTML and cascading style sheets (CSS). Our site content is separated from presentational elements, which makes it available to any visitors that use technologies such as a screen reader or text only browser.

The site may at times lean on the usage of active scripting (javascript) in order to achieve enhanced aesthetics or functionality. The site is therefore best viewed in a browser with active scripting enabled. Active script-reliant content is backed up in order that users are still able to access all content and view information whilst using script-disabled browsers.

Additionally, our site has been built to expand conforming to original design layout. This is in order to allow users with visual impairments to increase text size without losing the structure of the site. Text size can be increased/decreased by holding the “Ctrl” Key and pressing the “+” or “-” respectively, or by holding the “Ctrl” Key and scrolling the Mouse Wheel (If present). Pressing “Ctrl” together with “0″ (zero) will return the text size to its default in later browsers.
