Accessibility statement

We aim to make this site as accessible as we can.

Web accessibility means enabling people to view a web page the way they wish to view it with the equipment that they have available. In other words, making sure that as many people as possible can use a website, irrespective of physical impairment (such as loss of sight or restricted mobility), cognitive disability (such as dyslexia), or limited English language. It also means ensuring a website works on the broadest possible range of computer hardware and software, and its use does not depend on having the highest specification equipment or latest browser.

This site includes a number of features to maximise accessibility:

  • HTML is used to structure a page. CSS is used to style it.
  • Only common types of font are used.
  • The layout of pages is consistent to enable easy navigation (even where different template themes are available).
  • Colours are kept to a limited range, with text and background colours chosen to contrast well.
  • Elaborate animation is not used.
