Accessibility

We are committed to making our site more accessible and support the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). This site currently qualifies for W3C AA accessibility.

 

Help in making our website look the way you want

My Web My Way was developed by AbilityNet and the BBC as a source of accessibility help for all computer users.  It includes information on changing not only the colours and text size and style of our website, but will explain how these changes can be made to affect every site you visit if you wish.

Browsealoud

 

You can also make our website talk by downloading the free text to speech software BrowseAloud. Simply install it and then move your mouse over any text, link, picture or button and BrowseAloud will speak it to you. The download is approximately 2.5Mb.
