A site for all ages and abilities

Our accessibility strategy has a broader reach than the groups traditionally covered in the area of ‘accessibility’. Quite simply, we want to be as inclusive as we can. We therefore consider the needs of:

People with visual, hearing or motor impairments;
People with cognitive impairments;
People with reading difficulties such as dyslexia;
People from different generations.

Standards

Following standards - websites should comply with accessibility standards in commissioning, editorial, design and coding. These standards include the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative and the Disability Discrimination Act.

The accessibility guidelines we follow include:

Allowing users to control text sizes.
Using an easy to read font type.
Ensuring suitable foreground and background colour contrast.
Using clear and simple grammar.
Providing meaningful text equivalents for pictures.
Providing simple, consistent site navigation.
Ensuring the target of each link is clearly defined.
Providing a sitemap.
Providing navigational shortcuts for users of text only browsers and page readers. - Using appropriate structural mark-up to maximise browser support.
Ensuring all content and functionality is available to users without content style sheet (CSS), image and script support.
