Accessibility

How we make our website accessible

We adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0, a set of guidelines stipulated by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) used to ensure web sites are designed and written in a way that makes them accessible to everyone.

We only use strong colour contrasts
Headings are used correctly to make them readable through screen readers
We use style sheets to determine the presentation of our web site - this assists those using screen reading devices
Where we use images, we use alternative text so that those people who cannot see the image can read the text. These can be read by screen reading devices.
