Accessibility

We want our website to be accessible as possible and are always looking for ways to improve our website and make it easier to use. Our guidelines include:

• Designing the site for a 800x600 view so horizontal scrolling is not required

• Using meaningful ALT text for all images to provide descriptive text

• Using descriptive hyperlink text

• Avoiding the use of frames, which are difficult for special browsers to interpret

• Using an easy-to-see web colour scheme

• Using an easier to read non-serif font type, size and colour.

We are also working hard to make sure our site has useful content that is laid out in an easy-to-navigate way, taking into consideration people with speech readers.
