Accessibility statement
Website accessibility is about providing equal access to all users, regardless of ability, technology or situation. Website accessibility, contrary to popular belief, does not just affect people with visual impairments. It also addresses the needs of a much wider audience, including people with dyslexia, those with restricted upper body mobility, the hard of hearing and the elderly.
This website has been built to try and be open to as wide an audience as possible, including any users with impairments, users with slow internet connections and people using handheld devices such as a mobile phone or a PDA.

Standards compliance
In the same way that language has certain rules; websites have their own "grammar". Using website code that is compliant to the W3C standards makes this a clean, error free website that is compatible with assistive technologies an impaired person may use.
All pages comply with as many of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines as possible.
All pages validate as XHTML 1 Strict and use structured semantic markup.
