Accessibility

We have made every effort to ensure that this website is accessible to all. We have made every effort to ensure that this website complies with the following guidelines:

  • XHTML 1.0 transition language
  • CSS 2.0

To validate our code, we used Bobby 5.0.

“Bobby is a comprehensive web accessibility software tool designed to detect and repair barriers to accessibility and promote compliance with existing accessibility guidelines. Bobby checks compliance with government standards, including Section 508 of the US Government. It offers prioritised suggestions based on web content accessibility guidelines provided by the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Access Initiative. Bobby allows developers to test web pages and produce summary reports highlighting critical accessibility issues before content is published to live servers.”

We use PDFs in places as the default downloadable document. If you need the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can get a copy from the Adobe website.
