Development of this website has been driven by accessibility standards and we are committed to providing a usable website for as many people as possible.

Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Guidelines

This website has been built using code compliant with the standards of the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Accessibility Initiative. The initiative promotes usability and accessibility for people with disabilities. Details on the World Wide Web Consortiums web accessibility initiative are available at www.w3.org/WAI (opens in a new window).

The majority of the website's pages conform to the World Wide Web Consortium W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

Interactive Mapping

Interactive mapping, used in address searching, is a graphically intensive web application and one that cannot currently incorporate full accessibility standards.

Adobe Reader

Some pages require the Adobe Reader plugin to view content. Adobe Reader can be downloaded from the external link below.

• Adobe Acrobat Reader (for viewing PDF files, opens in a new window)

Tabbing

The website can be used without the use of a mouse, by using the tab button.  Pressing a tab key while on a web page will select the next link on the page.  On the home page it will also enable the search functionality.

Once your chosen link is selected, you can trigger it by pressing the ‘enter’ key, and move backwards through the links by using ‘shift’ + ‘tab’

Exceptions

It is not always possible to meet all accessibility standards and guidance for all areas of the website.
