We are committed to providing you with a website that is accessible to the widest possible audiences.
Using the Site
We have aimed to create a site that is available to everyone
- We aim to use a web font so all text is easy to read.
- We ensure that navigation through our websites works in a consistent way.
- We do not rely on just colour as the only way of giving information.
- We avoid the use of images of text wherever possible, and provide equivalent text links that consist of images.
Here are a few helpful ways in which you can start using the website more easily.
