Online Accessibility

To help you with our websites we have tried to make it as user friendly for everybody as possible. This means that:

​

  • We use the W3C standards for HTML and CSS.

  • We are working towards AA level of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1.

  • We have built Signapse into our website letting you access our content in British Sign Language.

  • We use strong colour contrasts to make sure that text is clear to read.

  • All our images have alternative text to describe them to you.
