Site Accessibility
This site is designed to make information more accessible:
- > All images have text alternatives (ALT attributes).
- > Text uses relative font sizes so that it can be enlarged or reduced using the text size options available in visual browsers.
- > The site can be navigated without the use of a mouse.
- > A text only, high contrast version of each page is available. This is particulary suited to users of screen readers, or those with impaired vision or colour blindness.
- > Pages are formatted using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and not tables, which have been used solely for tabular information. CSS formatting preserves the semantic structure of the information and enables this site to be displayed with user-defined style sheets.
- > Pages are fully functional with JavaScript turned off. The only exceptions are some pages within the Investors section, which uses JavaScript to provide share price and Stock Exchange information.
- > This site follows World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) accessibility guidelines, and meets all Level A (Priority 1) checkpoints
