Meeting Web Standards

We believe the Internet should be easy to use for everyone, including those with disabilities. With this in mind, we have adopted a policy of accessibility, and have designed this website to comply with current web standards, as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Design Guidelines

The website has been designed with these accessibility guidelines in mind:

•	Navigation throughout the site works in a consistent way
•	A standard web font is used to make it easy for all to read
•	Generally, the size of the font can be adjusted according to the user’s needs, using standard browser and operating system options
•	Full size images are given ‘alt text' alternatives, except those which are only decorative, in which case the tags are left blank
•	Colour is never used as the only way to convey information

Browsers

All pages on our site may be accessed using older browsers, but to see them laid out correctly requires a standards compliant browser. If you wish to upgrade your browser, the latest free versions of Firefox and Internet Explorer are recommended. Mac OS X users may also consider Safari.
