The following text outlines some of the design considerations which have been employed to
ensure our site is accessible as possible.

Following W3C guidelines

Our website has been designed to aim to meet many of the accessibility guidelines as outlined
by the World Wide Web Consortium – http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/wcag

It has 12 guidelines that are organised under 4 principles: perceivable, operable,
understandable and robust.

All reasonable efforts have been made to ensure that top level and main content pages are
compliant with their standards. For example:

• Alternative text – Images on this site are accompanied by a brief alternative text which
  where appropriate identifies an image or its function. This alternative text (alt-text)
  is generally only visible when the browser’s automatic image loading feature is turned
  off.
• Links – Text links are written so that they make sense when read out of context.
• Colour contrast

Care has been taken to ensure that appropriate foreground and background colours provide
sufficient contrast.

The website has been tested and works on various operating systems and a wide range of
browsers including Internet Explorer 11 and upwards. It is also compatible with Internet
Explorer 10 and Microsoft Edge although not all functionality may be supported with this
browser.
