The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) was passed in 1995 (updated 1999 & 2004) to end the discrimination that many disabled people face and this website passes the WAI level 'triple A' guidelines relating to accessibility to W3C Standards. All pages on this website have been validated for HTML and CSS.
Further information regarding the DDA can be found at the Disability Rights Commission and information regarding accessible websites at Making Websites Accessible.
Navigation for sub pages / usability issues (at the top of the page), are made up of the following;
We have made the website available in either graphic mode, whereby images and coloured text are available, or in text only mode with black text on a white background and without images. The contrast can also be changed so that yellow text is presented on black background.
We have made the text on the website adjustable, so that it can be altered making it easier to read. We have supplied links to increase and decrease the size of the text
Alternatively
To adjust the text in Internet Explorer:
Select the "View" menu
Select the "Text Size" option from the menu.
Click on the text size you want to view
or
Hold down the Control (Ctrl) key and scroll the mouse wheel to increase/decrease the size of the text.
We have added 'Alt' tags (text alternatives) on all images, allowing for images to be switched off, or screen readers be used.
