We aim to make this website as accessible as possible and we follow government guidelines to achieve this aim.

How we do this

 

  • We have tried to give the website a consistent layout throughout. All main sections of the website are displayed in tabbed navigation buttons at the top of the page. All pages within main sections are displayed through sub navigation buttons. All main sections have their own main (home) pages. All homepages have news articles (top left) and other inter-website links (right hand side pillar).
  • We aim to keep pages as simple as possible – with plain English used throughout.
  • We use HTML as the default information format.
  • Our HTML pages validate against version ‘4.01 Transitional; HTML.
  • The website operates within both Internet Explorer and FireFox web browsers.
  • Where content uses flash programmes or Google map facilities, that may not be supported in older browsers, additional accessible options exist.
  • All images should have ‘alt’ tags attached to them. This gives a brief explanation of the images – what they depict and (if appropriate) where they link to.
  • Our HTML pages validate against version ‘4.01 Transitional; HTML.
