The content of this website has been designed to work towards Priority 2 of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.  We aim to continually make improvements to meet these guidelines.  The design and coding of the website has been implemented to support adaptive technologies (such as screen readers and text-only browsers).

Layout

To conform to W3 accessibility guidelines, cascading style sheets have been used to create the layout of this site. However, the functionality and content are independent of this technology and users may disable the default style sheets to maximise flexibility with font resizing or implement their own style sheets in their browser preferences.
