Our Accessibility Information

This site attempts to provide for all potential users with accessibility in mind:

We want everyone who is interested in our site to be able to access the information they are looking for, accordingly this website has been designed to make that as easy as possible within the design parameters employed.

this site complies to the latest web standards as recommended by the W3C.*

All pages should validate as 'XHTML 1.0 Transitional,' however as this is a client-updated site this may not always be the case. This site uses cascading style sheets (CSS) for visual layout and styling, which is supported by all modern browsers.

We would respectfully point out that Internet Explorer, up to and including version 6, is a very poor browser with regard to fully supporting current W3C standards for construction + accessibility, unlike newer browsers such as FireFox, Safari and Opera. IE7 offers improved compliance and Windows users should upgrade accordingly.

the site has been made more accessible via:

• Fast page-rendering speeds
• Being functional (with no or minimal styling) in a wide range of web browsers including screen readers and mobile devices
• Semantically structured pages
• The site is navigable, and pages usable, with Flash, Javascript and/or CSS disabled.

The site utilises the 'Flash' plug-in to display some elements, and will automatically test for the required version. if you cannot view/access the Flash content, you can download the player or use the site map provided for navigation where necessary.

* The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international consortium working to develop Web standards and guidelines. Basically the people who invented the web and some of their chums.
