All pages on this site use structured semantic markup. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags and lower for subtitles.

Links
Where possible links are written in a way that makes their purpose clear. If this is not possible, a ‘title’ attribute is added to indicate the purpose of the link.
When a link leads away from the web site, a new browser window will open. This should be noted in the title of the link.
Images
All content images used in this site include descriptive alt attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null alt attributes..

Visual design
This site uses CSS for layout, however some pages may contain tables to assist in layout. Where used solely for layout purposes, table headers are not used, however the ‘summary’ attribute is still used to explain the contents of a table.
Style sheets are used to designate font size and colour, both in ‘ordinary’ text and linked text, and background and other visual layout aspects of tables.
If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.

Please note that allthough every effort has been made to ensure the site conforms to the standards listed above, due to the content managed aspect of the site some pages may not follow these standards strictly.
