ACCESSIBILITY
In developing our website, we have adopted the current guidelines from the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) and have tested it using W3C (TM) Markup Validation Service, Watchfire Exact (TM) and Cynthia (TM) 'automated' tests, and then manually addressed any important areas (as outlined in the initiative) in line with the spirit of the code.
Web design is an evolutionary process, so we are constantly reviewing each page and adding new areas. We will endeavour to make sure that each of these are compliant. If you find that a particular page does not comply to the spirit then please contact us.
How to change the size of the text
At the top right of each page you have the option to select the size of the font that you would like to use to view our site. We hope that you will find this function useful.
