Accessibility
We want as many people as possible to be able to benefit from this website. Which is why we have used our knowledge and understanding of how different people access and use the Internet to develop content and tools that are both clear and simple for everyone to use.

Validation
We believe that usability and accessibility must have a solid foundation. So we have used the XHTML 1.0 and CSS specifications created by the W3C. We have also striven to achieve AA accessibility as measured against version 1.0 of the WCAG.
However, we appreciate that a number of the checkpoints of the WCAG are subjective - and although we are confident that we've met them, there may be instances where interpretation may vary.
