ACCESSIBILITY
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We are dedicated to making our website accessible and inclusive for all user groups. This commitment is reflected in our approach, which includes a range of accessibility features and our adherence to the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Accessibility Initiative (WCAG WAI) 2.0 guidelines at level A.
Accessibility Features
- Keyboard Navigation: ‘Skip to main content’ links for direct access past the navigation menu.
- Text Size: Text size can be adjusted through your browser’s settings (View – Text Size).
- Alternative Text for Images: All images include descriptive alternative text.
- Heading Structure: HTML heading elements for easy navigation using assistive technologies.
- Descriptive Link Text: Hyperlinks are clear and make sense out of context, distinguished stylistically from body text.
- JavaScript Independence: Alternative mechanisms for navigation and functionality where JavaScript is used.
- Colour Contrast: Ensured text and background colour combinations are contrast-rich; information is not conveyed by colour alone.
- CSS Usage: Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for layout with structured markup for content, ensuring accessibility even when style sheets are disabled.
