Accessibility Standards
This website has been checked automatically and manually to validate to the Worldwide Web Consortium's (W3C) guidelines for website accessibility. The website meets Priority 2 of the Website Accessibility Initiative (WAI). This means that this website satisfies the accessibility guidelines laid out by the W3C that must be met, and also the guidlines that should be met by websites.
This validation enables this site to display WAI-AA (double A means priority 2).
Why are these standards needed?
Disabled users make up a large proportion of people who use the internet and websites. Under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 companies are required to make their website accessible by disabled users, and that's why these guidelines exist.
