Banner accessibility policy
We are aware that different people
have different needs and access the internet in different ways. We have
tried to develop a website that is clear and simple for everybody to
use. If you come across a part of our site that is difficult to use
please tell us about it. We intend to keep improving our accessibility -
to help us do so, please email us any comments
you have about your user experience.
Validation
We
have used the XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS specifications created by
the W3C, as we believe that usability and accessibility must have a
solid foundation. We have endeavoured to achieve AA accessibility as
measured against version 2.0 of the WCAG. However, we are aware that a
number of the checkpoints of the WCAG are subjective and down to
individual interpretation, we are sure that we have met them but there
may be instances where interpretation may vary.
