There is a lot that goes in to ensuring we are conforming to these guidelines and the following helps to explain some of the ways we have or are working towards them.
What have we done?
Font and text size
We’ve used clear, legible font for all text and headings. If the font is too large/small for you, you can increase the font size, images and other elements on the page by holding the ‘CTRL’ (CMD on a Mac) and ‘+’ or ‘-’ keys on your keyboard.
Images, videos and other multimedia
We aim to ensure all images, audio, video and other multimedia have text equivalents. We’ve done this by providing descriptive ‘alt’ attributes for them or providing a transcript of the recording. Images which are purely for visual enjoyment may have empty alt attributes.
Scripts
Our website uses JavaScript to improve usability and experience. We understand however that this won’t work for everyone, so we are working on creating alternative non-JavaScript pages for our most critical pages.
iFrames
We try not to use iFrames (which involves embedding a portion of our website or another website within our pages) as we know these are a barrier to accessibility. There are a limited number of pages on this site which does use iFrames and we are actively looking at ways to remove these.
