This website has been developed with accessibility and web standards in mind. The website complies with all Priority 1 and, where possible, Priority 2 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. The website has been designed with the following accessibility guidelines in mind.
- The site uses stylesheets and relative font sizes for all text with the exception of graphical text. The font size of text can be increased or decreased in size by using the 'view' option in the browser.
- All images, where appropriate, have an alternative text attribute. This means that, when an image is conveying important information, its content is described with an alternative text. Where an image is used for a decorative purpose, the alternative text attribute will be left blank.
- Activities that require the Macromedia Flash plug-in have alternative descriptions. You can download the latest Flash Plug-in from Macromedia's website (www.macromedia.com).
- No information is exclusively conveyed using colour.
- A site map exists to provide information about the layout of the website.
- Pages are designed so that they are without horizontal scrollbars when they are viewed at a screen resolution of 800 x 600 pixels.
