We are committed to make the information on this website universally accessible. Every reasonable effort is being made to ensure that the website can be accessed by everyone, regardless of what operating system, software, equipment, etc. you are using, and regardless of any disability.

If you find a page or section of the site which you do not find to be accessible, or which you cannot understand, please do not hesitate to contact us. Please provide full details of the problem and the page or pages in question so we can investigate for you.

We're always looking for ways to make our website easier to use for all members of our community. Where possible, we follow the guidelines developed by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) and the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB).

Even fully-sighted people can find reading text on a screen difficult or tiring, so we have chosen an easy-to-see web colour scheme and a clear font type, size and colour.

Not everyone uses a traditional browser, so we've designed our website to work with screen readers. We use text (in ALT tags) to describe images, and we don't use frames which are difficult for screen readers and special browsers to interpret.
