Accessibility Statement

We have used our knowledge and understanding of how different people access the Internet to develop a web site that is clear and simple for everybody to use. If you find there are any problems with this website, please let us know.

Validation

We have used the XHTML 1.0 and CSS specifications created by the W3C, as we believe that usability and accessibility must have a solid foundation.

We have also endeavoured to achieve AA accessibility as measured against version 1.0 of the WCAG. We are aware however, that a number of the checkpoints of the WCAG are subjective - and although we are sure that we have met them squarely, there may be instances where interpretation may vary.
