All pages on this site are WCAG AA approved, complying with all priority 1 and 2 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

Whilst we would like to say this is a judgement call; many guidelines are intentionally vague and can not be tested automatically. We have reviewed all the guidelines and believe that all these pages are in compliance.
All pages on this site validate at XHTML 1.0 w3.org benchmarks.
All pages on this site validate at CSS 2.1 w3.org benchmarks.

The site also uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to control all of the presentation and layout which has been validated to CSS 2.1 standards.

As a result screen reader users can use the screen reader's navigation key to get around the site. If you are listening to the site, menus are grouped together in a more logical fashion.

The content has been written and formatted to make it accessible. For example: links use meaningful text and forms can be navigated using the tab key.
