Accessibility Statement
We have undertaken to use our knowledge and understanding of the ways in which
different people access the Internet, to develop a web site that is clear and
simple for everybody to use.
Validation
We have used
XHTML 1.0
and CSS that conforms to
specification, as laid out by the
W3C because we believe
that usability and accessibility must have a solid foundation.
If anything on this web site does not validate correctly, please contact the
Site Administration,
and not the Plone Team.
We have also endeavoured to achieve AA accessibility as measured against
version 1.0 of the
WCAG.
We are aware however, that a number of the checkpoints of the
WCAG are
subjective — and although we are sure that we have met them squarely,
there may be instances where interpretation may vary.
