Accessibility features

Our website currently features:

Consistent page headings and titles - so it's easier for search engines and access technologies to find the information you're looking for
Alternative text for graphics and pictures - so that screen readers and browsers with images turned off can still use the site successfully
Descriptive links - that make sense even if taken out of context
Readable fonts and user changeable font sizes - our website's fonts have been chosen for their legibility. The site layout will stretch to fill the width of your browser, so you can select the size that suits you.
Screen reader support - our site has been tested using JAWS for Windows
