Accessibility options and advice


Text size - + Larger Font | + Smaller Font

This website has been technically designed to be W3C friendly and as highly accessible as possible. The code used complies with WAI standards. Many "badges" can be found on web sites to indicate level of accessibility. Our site uses the WAI guidelines as this is the worldwide agreed standard from which all other credible standards are created.

To ensure compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act, UK sites must have a certain amount of web accessibility inherent in their design and build. For more information on this often misunderstood subject visit. http://en.wikipedia.org and http://www.w3.org/WAI


Accessibility and web browsers - The internet and PC's have their own set of problems for those needing to access information but who need some form of assistive technology. Different screens, operating systems, screen resolutions and more all combine to create problems unique to PC users.

Many of the accessibility standards used in traditional print simply do not apply or translate well onto the web.

Internet Explorer is the most commonly used web browse today. It has many accessibility features built in to help you browse the web with ease. http://www.microsoft.com

Braille Keyboards - Braille keyboards exist to assist blind users with understanding text on a screen. For more information go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braille_display


Language - Were possible this site will function with a high level of accuracy with online translation services such as Babelfish.

Google offer an online service at http://www.google.com/language
