Accessibility Statement

Every effort has been made to make this site as universally accessible as possible. We have tested it so as to ensure that it is usable with a screen-reader, as well as without a mouse.

The following major steps have also been taken:

• We have created an accessibility menu at the start and end of each page so as to enable visually and physically handicapped users to select the content, menu and extra information as easily as possible.
• The text is re-sizeable by using, wherever possible, the browser's text size option.
• Whilst for those customers who use text-only browsers we've included text alternatives for images that convey useful information, we've skipped decorative images.
• The site will remain operational even if javascript, images, CSS, sound, colour and tables are disabled.
• You should be able to move through the content and tab through form fields in a logical manner.

We have specifically attempted to comply with:

• The World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative
• WebXact/Bobby - Priority 1 guidelines and, where possible, Priority 2 & 3.
• W3C Valid HTML
• W3C Valid CSS
• WCAG AccMonitor
• Wave
