Accessibility

We aim to make our website's content and features available to all users. This includes navigating around the site, filling in online forms and understanding content.

With this in mind, we ensure our site is accessible to as many people as possible by following these web design best practice:

• Present navigation and page structure consistently across the whole website
• Use headings, sub-headings, paragraphs, lists and other standard HTML tags to create a semantically-meaningful document. In particular, this enables screen reading software to "understand" a page's content
• Allow users to resize text themselves, using standard browser controls. A user can also use our font size selector to change the size of text on the screen
  
• Using alt text and titles on images (where appropriate)
• Ensure hyperlinks use descriptive and meaningful text
• Provide access keys to allow keyboard navigation across the website
• Create the website without using HTML tables, except where we present tabulated content e.g. tables of data
• Use a sans-serif font for easier readability
