Site Accessibility

We are dedicated to providing accessible websites that meet the needs of all our users regardless of any impairments or technical constraints. With this in mind we have taken care to design and build this site in accordance with the W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative and taken informed guidance from the outset on best practice guidance set out by the RNIB. The site has been tested for accessibility and aims to achieve the AA standard. As part of our design process we have taken advice from the RNIB regarding our colour combinations and have found the colours selected for the site to be amongst the best. Part of this testing was specially targeted at assessing the use of light text on a black background and was found to have the highest accessibility rating possible.

  •     In Macintosh Internet Explorer and Netscape 6 and 7, use the View > Text Zoom menu.
  •     In Opera, use the Zoom selector.
  •     In Firefox and other Mozilla browsers, use the View > Increase Text Size option.
  •     In Safari, use the View > Make Text Bigger option.
  •     If you use a wheel-mouse, you may be able to change the text size by holding down the Control or Command key and turning the wheel. In some browsers you can change the text size using Control or Command and the + and - keys.
