What is accessibility
to be written
Our aim
Every effort is being made to make this site as accessible as possible for all visitors.
We recognise the importance of this and are trying to make sure that this site can be easily used by people with disabilities.
Pages should be easily navigable using assistive technologies and almost all text can be enlarged.
The site uses CSS and so you should be able to use your own styles to override ours.
Please note, this site is still being built and will be tested for accessibility but this has yet to happen.
The BBC gives good information about all accessibility issues
on their website.
If you don't know what operating system you have it's almost certainly windows.
If you have any problems, suggestions or feedback please do contact us.
