Accessibility Our aim is to make our website as accessible as possible to the widest range of people. This means considering the specific needs of not only those with visual or motor impairments, learning difficulties and other forms of disability, but also different browser technology and Internet connection speeds. How accessible is this site? To this end, we have endeavoured to comply with the most widely accepted guidelines for the construction of accessible web sites specified by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Their Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/) (WCAG) define three levels of accessibility, each progressively more demanding. The most basic level of accessibility is Priority 1 (level A compliance) followed by Priority 2 and 3 (levels AA and AAA). This site complies with all Priority 1 checkpoints and where possible Priority 2 and 3 checkpoints. We are aware however, that a number of the checkpoints are subjective and there may be instances where interpretation may vary. Due to the limitations of Flash, any content on the site that uses this software is only partially accessible. Benefits By achieving this level of accessibility, you benefit from a number of features: • You can navigate the site without having the Flash plug-in installed. • All informative images have textual descriptions, so you know what the image shows even if you can’t see it.
