Images

All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes.
Purely decorative graphics (if any are present) will include a ‘null’ ALT attribute.

Visual Design

To enhance user experience this site utilises a small amount of Flash, there are links inside this movie - these are duplicated in HTML links in the page.
This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.
If your browser or browsing device does not support style sheets at all, the content of each page is still readable but in a stylistically reduced capacity.
This site uses relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers. .

Colour

Foreground and background colours have been used that provide a good level of contrast and are therefore easy to read. Throughout the site, colour is never used as the only way to convey information.
