This site aims to achieve Priority 2 of the WAI Accessibility Guidelines as published by the Worldwide Web Consortium [W3C]. Measures taken to achieve this are as follows:-
- • All pages will be tested on development using the W3C Markup Validation Service v0.7.2. Pages will be required to pass the test using the online validator except when content feeds [e.g. RSS or XML] come from third parties whose code is not alterable by this site.
- • All pages will be tested on development using the W3C CSS Validation Service. Pages will be required to pass the test using the online validator except when content feeds [e.g. RSS or XML] come from third parties whose code is not alterable by this site.
- • The Home and a random selection of pages will be tested using the Wave v4.0 Accessibility Checker.
- • All pages will be checked for their “Tab Index” and notes are provided for guidance on the tab index order on the Accessibility page »
- • Periodic checks will be made of the site during normal use using the suggested viewing options on the Accessibility page »
Users are actively encouraged to participate by informing us of any problems incurred, so that suitable corrective action can be taken.
