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: -
 
  • Priority 1

 

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.

 

  • Priority 2

 

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.

 

  • Priority 3

 

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.
