How to get the most accessible experience from this website

Our website can be viewed on a range of different screen sizes and the size of text can be changed to suit different people. We have also included a search facility, site map and useful links page to help people find information more easily.

Most images on this site are accompanied by a brief alt-text tag that identifies the image or its function. If you are using a graphic browser, alt-text tags are visible only if the browser's automatic image-loading feature is turned off.

Every effort is made to ensure that all hyperlinks to external websites and documentation open in a new window to aid navigation and avoid confusion.

Accessibility Guidelines

It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. {Practice Name} is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Web Standards and Technologies

This website has been built to conform with W3C standards for HTML and CSS. These technologies are relied upon throughout the site. The site displays correctly in all popular web browsers, and degrades gracefully in older browsers.

In addition this website uses JavaScript, PDF and other technologies. These technologies are not relied upon and the website works perfectly well without them. Where JavaScript, PDF along with other technologies have been used, they meet the same high levels of accessibility as the rest of the site.
