Web standards and Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI)

Web Standards

We have ensured, as far as possible, that this site is built using compliant XHTML and CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) as defined in the standards set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The site displays correctly with current browsers, and using standards compliant code means that any future browsers will also display this website correctly.

The W3C is the organisation that produces the standards and specifications for the World Wide Web.

Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI)

The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), is part of the W3C, and is devoted to promoting accessibility on the web. The WAI has a series of guidelines and checkpoints which aim to make websites more accessible.

We have endeavoured to make this site comply as fully as possible with the WAI's Priority 1 checkpoints. In addition, we also comply with many of the Priority 2 and 3 checkpoints as well.

Please visit Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) (opens in a new window) for more information.

Changing Text Size

We realise some users may want to alter the size of the text on this site and as such we have avoided the use of 'fixed sized' fonts. To change the text size go to the 'View' menu at the top of your browser. Depending on your browser there will be an option in this menu called 'Text Size' or 'Text Zoom'. Use the options in here to increase/decrease text size.

Navigation

The navigation throughout this site has been designed to work in a consistent way to ensure you have access to the information you need. Further navigational enhancements are as follows:

Skip Navigation

For screen reader users we have incorporated a 'skip navigation' link (keyboard shortcut ALT+s). This enables users to go directly to the main content of the page without the need to listen to other page features first.

Site Map

In the event that you can't find the information you are looking for, you could try using our site map. Here you will find a complete list of all the principle areas of this site to help you navigate around.

Keyboard Shortcuts

This website incorporates ACCESSKEY functionality. The following list details the keyboard shortcuts available from the navigation bar of this site. These commands are designed to help users with difficulty in using pointing devices such as a mouse. To use these shortcuts hold down Alt, then press the corresponding number, release and then press return.

Note: for users of Netscape/Firefox/Mozilla there is no need to press return. For users of Opera please use Shift + Escape then the key number. For Mac users, please substitute the Alt key for Ctrl.

• ALT+s - Skip Navigation
• ALT+0 - Home
