We have used our knowledge and understanding of how different
people access the Internet to develop a website that is intuitive
and simple to use. If you find any problems with this website,
please let us know through our website
feedback form.
Validation
We have used XHTML version 1.0 ‘transitional’ and CSS 2.0
specifications created by the
W3C
, as we believe that
usability and accessibility must have a solid foundation.
We have also endeavoured to achieve AA accessibility as measured
against version 2.0 of the
WCAG
, though many of
the pages will meet the AAA standard. We are aware, however, that a
number of the checkpoints of the
WCAG
are subjective –
and, although we are sure that we have met them squarely, there may
be instances where interpretation may vary.
The website has been tested using Jaws version 9.0 and Firevox
version 6.0 screen readers, disabling CSS and disabling
JavaScript.
