Links

Many links have Title attributes which describe the destination of the link in greater detail. Title attributes are not included if the link already fully describes where the link goes to; for example, the headline of a news story.

Wherever possible links are written to make sense out of context, so that you do not have to read the surrounding text to understand where the link will take you.

On any page, identically-worded links will always link to the same page.

You will always be warned if clicking on a link opens a file or website in a new browser window. The warning is either contained in the link itself, the Title attribute or in the text immediately after the link.

Images

All graphics and images on our website have an alternative text (ALT) attribute that describes the contents or function of the image. This description will be displayed when images are turned off, on a text-only browser or as a ‘tool tip’ in certain browsers when the mouse pointer is moved over the image.

Visual design

A number of elements have been included in the design of the website to make it easier for everyone to use:

  • Our website uses relative font sizes which can be resized in your browser.
  • Where colours are used we have tried to make sure there is good contrast between foreground and background items.
  • Links always appear coloured and underlined. No other text is ever underlined.
  • If your browser or reading device does not support stylesheets, all content will still be readable.
