Complying with standards
We aim to comply with the Web Accessibility Initiative's Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines (WAI/WCG).
We've built all pages on this site to Hyper Text Mark-up Language XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
Wherever possible, we've written links so they make sense even out of context. This
means screen readers can extract a comprehensive list of links on a page.
To us, accessibility covers not only people with disabilities, but also those who
want to do business through the internet but have limited computing facilities or
skills. In particular, we try to provide enough information for you to decide when
to download (as we know people using dial-up facilities don't want a phone line
tied up for hours, nor do those using Blackberries and other devices always want
to download).
If you experience any difficulties
Maintaining an accessible site is an ongoing process, and we're continually working
at it. If you have any problems please
contact us so we can try to resolve them. If possible, include the web address
of the relevant page(s).
