Accessibility

We have made use of the following features and techniques to ensure that our website is accessible:

We provide quick links for speech browsers to skip to key areas of information on every page.
We provide a text equivalent for every non-text element. This includes: images, graphical representations of text (including symbols), image map regions, frames, scripts, images used as list bullets, spacers and graphical buttons.
We ensure that all information conveyed with colour is also available without colour, for example from context or markup.
We ensure that foreground and background colour combinations provide sufficient contrast when viewed by someone having colour deficits or when viewed on a black and white screen.
When an appropriate markup language exists, we use markup rather than images to convey information.
We use style sheets to control layout and presentation.
We use relative rather than absolute units in markup language attribute values and style sheet property values.
We use header elements to convey document structure and use them according to specification.
We mark up lists and list items properly.
We identify the primary natural language of a document.
We organise documents so they may be read without style sheets. For example, when an HTML document is rendered without associated style sheets, it is still possible to read the document.
We clearly identify the target of each link.
We provide metadata to add semantic information to pages and sites.
We use navigation mechanisms in a consistent manner.
We use the clearest and simplest language appropriate for a site's content.
We use a style of presentation that is consistent across pages.
For all form elements we ensure the label is properly positioned and implicitly associated.

Our site makes extensive use of stylesheets.
