Accessibility

This site is designed specifically as predominantly a text site for users who prefer fewer graphics and simpler screen rendering and reading. Apart from your existing text only facility, the following additional accessibility functions have been built in:

Page map

A non-visible page map (in the HTML) that lets users (especially those with screen readers) skip to the main content.

Text legibility

High contrast text colours in screen readable font has been used and the main text is scaleable in size. This lets users control the default font size; try the SIZE button or the ZOOM button in your browser.

Older web browsers

We have checked that the pages are navigable in much older browsers like Netscape versions 2 and 3.

Web standards

Some of our content does not meet current best practice, but we are working towards:

• standards compliant code, eg XHTML 1
• W3C WAI Level A standard
