About the accessibility of our website
In order to make this site accessible to a wide
audience we have worked closely with disability consultants the
Shaw
Trust. We have carried out testing with people to ensure a
better experience for all users and all technologies.
Our aim is to meet all priority 1 requirements of the
W3C Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (WCAG 1.0). Meeting this
standard is commonly known as Level A compliance.
We also aim to meet as many priority 2 requirements of
the WCAG 1.0 as possible. Meeting this standard is commonly known
as Level AA compliance.
Tools on our website allow you to:
- change the text size;
- view the site as text only;
- change text and background colours;
- listen to the site being read; and
- translate the site into 9 languages.
If you have any problems or would like to make any suggestions
to improve the site, please contact us via our feedback form or call us on 01243 777100.
The site has been constructed using several accessibility
principles to allow users, including those with visual impairments
and other disadvantaged groups, to access the information contained
on the site.
However, some of the tools and technologies used are
immature at present and may not be fully accessible to all users -
where this is the case we will aim to improve the site as these
tools and technologies mature.
