Accessibility Guide

Ensuring that everyone can access our web site fully is a main priority for us. We have endeavoured to make sure the site is accessible to all and would welcome your comments on this matter by telephoning 01485 543163.

We have...

• designed the web site in 800 x 600 view so no horizontal scrolling is required
• avoided use of frames which text readers and special browsers find difficult to interpret
• used a web safe font to make the text easy to read
• used alternative text for all images to provide a useful description
• used a clear colour scheme

If you wish to see larger text on the website pages to make them easier to read, just click on the A+ or A++ buttons which are just below the main menu on the left hand side of every page. Clicking on the A button will return the text to normal size.

We have designed the web site taking into account the guidelines provide within the Disability Discrimination Act and have made the site W3C compliant. W3C (the World Wide Web Consortium) provide a web site validating service which aids web site creation in checking the validity of the HTML code and stylesheets used, helping to improve accessibility and improve minimise browser problems.

Should you wish to modify your browser settings to change the way you view the web site, such as the text size or colour of hyperlinks, you will find these instructions provided on the W3C website helpful:
