This website aims to conform to:
- W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines priority 1, 2, and 3 guidelines
- XHTML 1.0
- CSS 2.0
Some Priority 3 guidelines are no longer relevant and are being dropped from the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines v2.0. The following guidelines have therefore not been adhered to on this website:
- 9.5 - Provide keyboard shortcuts to important links (including those in client-side image maps), form controls, and groups of form controls.
- 10.4 - Until user agents handle empty controls correctly, include default, place-holding characters in edit boxes and text areas.
If you do come across any accessibility issues, please contact us.
