We are aware that different people have different needs and access the internet in different ways. We have tried to develop a website that is clear and simple for everybody to use. If you come across a part of our site that is difficult to use please tell us about it. We intend to keep improving our accessibility – to help us do so, please email us any comments you have about your user experience.

Validation

We have used the XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS specifications created by the W3C, as we believe that usability and accessibility must have a solid foundation. We have endeavoured to achieve AA accessibility as measured against version 2.0 of the WCAG. However, we are aware that a number of the checkpoints of the WCAG are subjective and down to individual interpretation, we are sure that we have met them but there may be instances where interpretation may vary.
