- There is a text equivalent for every non-text element;
- Documents are organised so that they can be read without Style Sheets;
- When scripts, applets, or other programmatic objects are turned off all pages are still usable;
- Relative units are used in fonts so that users can control the text size;
- No pop-up or new windows are used without informing the user;
- Navigation mechanisms are used in a consistent manner;
- All event-handlers are device independent.
While we have tried to ensure that this website is as accessible as possible, if you are experiencing difficulties with the site or have any comments regarding accessibility please contact us and we will do our best to help.
