Accessibility, Privacy and Terms & Conditions
We take our responsibilities seriously and have created this page to outline the steps we have taken to make our website accessible to all and to define how we will treat any personal information supplied by you to us. This page also details the terms under which you can use this website and its component parts.
Accessibility
This website was built to comply with internationally accepted web standards and accessibility guidelines, in order to make it accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of personal disability or browsing software.
Document Compliance
This site is written in HTML and styled using valid CSS2 code. We validate our pages regularly to ensure this standard is maintained.
Accessibility Standards
We have applied the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), Version 2.0, Level 1 standard to this site. Some of the guidelines require interpretation and we have used our judgement to implement them. In some instances we have gone beyond the basic requirements.
Presentation
We use stylesheets for visual layout combined with structured markup of headings, paragraphs and lists to separate content from presentation. The content of our pages is still readable if stylesheets are turned off or unavailable. We have used relative font sizes on our pages to ensure text is resizeable in visual browsers.
Images
All content images have alt text providing equivalent text to describe their function. Purely decorative images have empty alt text, i.e. alt="", which means screen readers ignore the images completely.
Privacy
We will not use any personal information obtained via this website for any purpose other than that stated when the information is gathered.
We monitor traffic to this website using Google Analytics. This system is covered by Google's standard privacy statement. This system is used to monitor trends of usage and does not include any personally identifiable information.
