All pages on this site use structured semantic markup. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags and lower for subtitles.

Keyboard users jump straight to the main navigation by using 'access key 2' and subsequently can use the TAB key to select through the available navigation links.

On any page within the website, there is a 'Skip Navigation' link (accesskey 5) mapped to an invisible graphic, in order to bypass navigation links.

When a link leads away from the web site, a new browser window will open. This should be noted in the title of the link.

Images

All content images used in this site include descriptive alt attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null alt attributes.

Visual design

This site uses css for layout, however some pages may contain tables to assist in layout. Where used solely for layout purposes, table headers are not used, however the 'summary' attribute is still used to expalin the contents of a table.
Style sheets are used to designate font size and colour, both in ordinary text and linked text, and background and other visual layout aspects of tables.
If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.

Please note that allthough every effort has been made to ensure the site conforms to the standards listed above, due to the content managed aspect of the site some pages may not follow these standards strictly.
