Accessibility features

Our website currently features:

  • Consistent page headings and titles - so it's easier for search engines and access technologies to find the information you're looking for
  • Alternative text for graphics and pictures - so that screen readers and browsers with images turned off can still use the site successfully
  • Descriptive links - that make sense even if taken out of context
  • Readable fonts and user changeable font sizes - Our website's fonts have been chosen for their legibility. The site layout will stretch to fill the width of your browser, so you can select the size that suits you.
  • Screen reader support - our site has been tested using JAWS for Windows
