Accessibility

This web site has been designed with the following recommendations in mind:

• Reduce in the number of links and ensure that genuine and necessary links are clearly identified as such
• Avoid site fragmentation: navigation mechanisms should be consistent (eg in appearance and behaviour), the relative importance of different section sections (across the site and within pages) should be apparent, mark-up languages should be used to indicate the structure of pages
• Preserve links to the home page
• Improve search design
• Eradicate excessively deep site structures: ensuring that page titles are informative.Divide blocks of information into more manageable units where possible.
• Ensure that Foreground and Background colours have sufficient contrast: to aid the partially sighted and colour blind.
• Ensure text is resizeable.
• Provide a text equivalent for every non-text element. All images have alt text description.
• Avoid creating pop-ups and new windows without informing the user: this site contains no pop-ups and all external sites open in a new window, to preserve original site.
• Use the clearest and simplest language appropriate for the site's content.
• Ensure that pages work when scripts and applets are not supported: this site contains minimal script and no applets.
