We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audiences.

Using the Site

We have aimed to create a site that is available to everyone including those with sight, audio and motor impairment restrictions.

• We aim to use a web font so all text is easy to read.
• We have appropriate alt tags for images to convey information.
• We ensure that navigation through our websites works in a consistent way.
• We do not rely on just colour as the only way of giving information.
• We avoid the use of images of text wherever possible, and provide equivalent text links that consist of images.

Here are a few helpful ways in which you can start using the website more easily.

To enlarge text on the site

The majority of modern browsers now include the ability to resize a page’s text size with relative ease. On the browser menu select the ‘options’ icon then adjust ‘Zoom’ to resize the text to your preferred size.

To change text and/or colour on the site

Some browsers allow you to change the colours displayed on a site making it easier to read and navigate. To do so select the ‘options’ icon on the browser menu, then select ‘settings’ and adjust the display options to your preference.
