Accessibility
We want our website to be accessible to everyone that uses it. We use the following standards and recommendations as a guide:
- Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (all pages conform to Level A; most conform to the Double-A or Triple-A levels)
- The Central Office of Information's Web standards and guidelines
- The World Wide Web Consortium's standards for XHTML 1.0 (Transitional) and CSS level 2.
Main formats
We publish our electronic publications in PDF and/or Microsoft Word format, with occasional Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint attachments.
You can download the Microsoft Excel viewer or download the Microsoft PowerPoint viewer. Both of these are from the Microsoft website.
You can also read Adobe’s information on accessibility and PDF format.
Text size
There are several ways to adjust the size of the text via your internet browser. You can often do this by holding Ctrl on your keyboard and rolling the wheel on your mouse. The Web Accessibility Initiative explains how to change font sizes in different browsers.
The Royal National Institute of Blind People provides information on screen magnification and browser accessibility.
