Standards Compliance

Our pages conform at a minimum to Level A compliance as specified by the Web Accessibility Initiative. Where possible, Levels AA and AAA requirements are also met.

We strive to obey the spirit of the Equality Act 2010 which replaces most of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) of 1995 as well as the EU e-Commerce Directive adapted in 2000 with respect to the provision of services online.

All pages validate as HTML5 and use structured semantic markup. This ensures assitive technology devices can navigate the site according to w3c standards.
