Standards compliance
The graphical version of this site conforms to W3C's "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0", available at http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/
WAI-WEBCONTENT-19990505, Level A compliance as specified by the World Wide Web Consortium and endorsed by the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB). Many Level AA requirements are also met.
All pages validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional and use structured semantic markup.
The CSS also validates. We strive to obey the spirit of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) of 1995 with respect to the provision of services online, as required by the Disability Rights Commission (DRC).
While we use Bobby to test for accessibility, it is just one aspect of our testing procedure. As a computer programme, the Bobby test is not as reliable as expert evaluation.
