Help & Accessibility

Access to Services & Facilities

The car park at the rear of the building has four dedicated parking spaces for people with disabilities, which are located close to the building. There are toilets for the disabled on the ground and first floor, with lift access to the latter.

If you have any other special needs relating to access, audio or visual impairments, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate these.

The IT suite and Willows skills room have desks which can be adjusted to accommodate wheelchair users.

Access to Website

We are committed to making our website as accessible as possible to blind and partially sighted users, and to people with disabilities.

We try to conform to the relevant W3C WAI standards. The W3C Web Accessibility Initiative is the internationally accepted authority on web accessibility standards.

This site uses XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS Level 2.1, which makes the site truly interoperable.

Access Keys

You can use keyboard shortcuts (access keys) to navigate certain areas of this site. We use the UK government access key system:

Depending on the type of browser you are using do one of the following:

Skip Navigation

A 'Skip Navigation' link on each page of our website enables visually impaired users to skip over the main page navigation buttons, rather than having to tab through them manually at the start of every page.

Table Summaries & Title Tags

To further aid those with visual impairments we have minimised the use of tables within this Website, but when they have been necessary we have used table summaries. All hyperlinks throughout the site incorporate 'title' tags.

Multi-media

We avoid uneccessary use of Java, JavaScript, Dynamic HTML, Shockwave, Flash, Powerpoint or any other technologies that can create accessibility problems.
