Web Site Accessibility
Every effort has been made, as far as
possible, to ensure this website is simple to use, easy to
access and the information provided easy to
understand.
The
World Wide Web Consortium
(W3C) develop protocols and guidelines to
ensure long-term growth for the web. The W3C, through
it's Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), have produced a list of
guidelines to assist web site providers ensure their websites
are as accessible as possible to the widest audience. These
guidelines are referred to as the
Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines, the current version is
1.0.
The guidelines are organised into three priority levels,
defined as follows: -
A Web content developer must satisfy this
checkpoint. Otherwise, one or more groups will find it impossible
to access information in the document. Satisfying this checkpoint
is a basic requirement for some groups to be able to use Web
documents.
A Web content developer should satisfy this
checkpoint. Otherwise, one or more groups will find it difficult to
access information in the document. Satisfying this checkpoint will
remove significant barriers to accessing Web documents.
A Web content developer may address this
checkpoint. Otherwise, one or more groups will find it somewhat
difficult to access information in the document. Satisfying this
checkpoint will improve access to Web documents.
Efforts have been made to ensure the pages on this website
conform to prorioty 1 and 2 of the guidelines. Automated tests
verify that most pages conform, however, there is still much work
to be done to ensure that every page meets every criteria of the
guidelines. We aim to complete this task as soon as possible.

users to browse websites, ranging from magnifying the screen,
reading out the pages or providing braille facilities. This website
should be compatible with all these technologies.
