Our commitment to accessibility:

We want to make sure our website is accessible to everyone – that's why we're working towards complying with Priority 2 of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. We're continually improving our website to meet these guidelines, and we've designed the site with the following parameters in mind:

Page design:

We design our pages to be viewed at a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels.

Page structure:

We use header elements to structure the pages and make the information clear.

Stylesheets:

We use stylesheets to keep font sizes consistent, with the exception of graphical text.

Text:

You can increase and decrease the size of text, to make it easier for you to read, by using the 'View' option in your browser.

Images:

We use 'Alt' tags on our images that describe what the image is if you can't see it.

Colour:

We avoid using colour exclusively to display information.

Site map:

We provide a site map so that you can easily see the structure of the website and how it fits together.

Downloading PDF documents:

You can read PDF documents with a screen reader: with a screen reader, visit the Access Adobe website.

Or you can use Adobe’s online conversion tool for pdfs.

Browser compatibility:

The standard browser versions that support our website are:

Internet Explorer v7.0 and v.9.0

Google Chrome

Safari v4.0

Firefox v3.0
