Accessibility features on this website
The following features improve navigation for screen reader users, keyboard navigation and users of text-only browsers.
Navigation shortcuts
There is a short menu at the start of every page that allows you to jump directly to the most important parts of the page, including main content and navigation. Sighted people who use a keyboard to navigate will see these links appear on screen when using the "Tab" key to navigate through the page.
Each shortcut has an access key assigned.
Access keys
In browsers that support them, access keys are keyboard shortcuts that replace the need to use the mouse for navigation. In Internet Explorer on Windows, you can press ALT + an access key; on a Macintosh, you can press Control + an access key. Then press Enter to activate the link.
Structured, semantic markup: Headings and navigation menus
HTML heading tags are used to convey document structure. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags for subtitles, and so on. For example, on this page, JAWS users can skip to the next section within the accessibility statement by pressing ALT+INSERT+2.
Navigation menus are marked up as HTML lists. This ensures that the number of links in the list is read out at the start and it can be skipped easily.
Images
All content images used in this site include descriptive alt attributes. Purely decorative graphics include empty alt attributes. Images used for headings are applied using style sheets - since the heading exists as text behind the graphic, alt attributes are unnecessary.
Colours
We have checked the site's font and background colour combinations against the different colour blindness conditions and ensured that all information is still clear.
Font sizes
You may change the font size of this document to your preference through your browser:
In Internet Explorer, select View, then Text Size, and then your preferred size.
In Netscape select View, then Text Zoom, and then your preferred percentage size.
Style sheets
This site uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for visual layout. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the use of structured semantic markup ensures that the content of each page is still readable and clearly structured.
Tables
Tables are not used for layout.
Forms
All forms follow a logical Tab sequence.
Labels are associated with fields using HTML label tags.
Scripting
The site is fully accessible if scripting is unavailable.
Links
Linking text has been written to make sense out of context.
Where appropriate, links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, for example to advise you if the link will open in a new window.

Standards compliance
We are currently working towards the RNIB See it Right standard. This incorporates most of WAI A as well as a number of AA and AAA checkpoints.
We strive to obey the spirit of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995 with respect to the provision of services online, as required by the Disability Rights Commission (DRC).
