SITE ACCESSIBILITY
We recognises the importance of providing a website
that is accessible to all user groups, including the disabled
Accordingly we have implemented a number of accessibility
features on this website to make it easier to use for
people with disabilities.
Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback
regarding the accessibility of this site, or if you experience
any difficulty using it.
In addition you might also like to review the accessibility
features of your web browser to optimise your viewing
performance in accordance with your particular needs..
The following features improve navigation for screen
reader users, keyboard navigation and users of text-only
browsers
Navigation shortcuts
HTML heading tags are used to convey document structure.
H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags for subtitles,
and so on.
Navigation menus are marked up as HTML lists. This ensures
that the number of links in the list is read out at the
start and it can be skipped easily.
Images
All content images used in this site include descriptive
alt attributes. Purely decorative graphics include empty
alt attributes.
Colours
We have checked the site's font and background colour
combinations and ensured that all information is still
clear.
If you wish to override the site's colours, you can import
your own style sheet.
Font sizes
You may change the font size of this document to your
preference through your browser in the following manner:
In Internet Explorer, select View, then Text Size, and
then your preferred size.
In Netscape select View, then Text Zoom, and then your
preferred percentage size.
If you wish to override the site's font settings, you
can alternatively use the text links provided on each
page or the graphic symbols found below these links to
activate a pre-prepared style sheet.
Style sheets
This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.
The use of structured semantic markup ensures that the
content of each page is still readable and clearly structured.
You may, if you wish, import your own stylesheet into
this website in the following manner:
In Internet Explorer select Tools, then Internet Options,
and then Accessibility.
Next click on any or all 3 checkboxes to ignore colours,
font styles or font sizes.
In the same window you can change your style sheet by
clicking the checkbox that says, 'format document using
my style sheet' then simply browse to your style sheet
and click OK.
In Netscape select Edit, then Preferences and then Appearance.
You will be given the choice to specify your own colours
and fonts.
Tables
All tables have properly scoped header cells, to allow
screen readers to render them intelligently. Where required,
tables also have a caption and a summary.
Forms
All forms follow a logical Tab sequence.
Labels are associated with fields using HTML label tags.
Scripting
Java script is used on the website to improve usability
and is also required for online shopping.
However it is possible to browse the website without Java
script.
Links
Linking text has been written to make sense out of context.
Where appropriate, links have title attributes which
describe the link in greater detail, for example to advise
you if the link will open in a new window.
