Accessibility

We have designed and programmed this website, in accordance with the accessibility guidelines issued by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), to be as accessible as possible for everyone and to be compatible with the types of adaptive technology used by people with disabilities, including screen readers.

This means that visitors to the site can

• use assistive device technology, e.g. screen readers, to listen to the site
• control the size of the text to their preference through their browser
• change the colour scheme to their preference by applying their own stylesheet to the website, again through their browser
• navigate the site easily.

Access keys

We have chosen not to implement access keys shortcuts due to inconsistencies in their implementation and support across different browsers and assistive technologies, and to avoid conflicts with keyboard commands already in use by those technologies.

Screen resolution

This website is designed for a minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. If your current setting is lower than 1024 x 768, the pages will not fit into your browser window without the need to use the scrollbars.

PDF documents

This report contains some links to PDF documents. To read these documents, you will need the Adobe Reader software. Adobe also provide accessibility tools for PDF documents.

Feedback

Efforts to improve accessibility are ongoing, but if you come across pages you find difficult to use, as a result of disability or otherwise, please let us know.
