Accessibility
St Dunstan’s is committed to providing an accessible website. We have built our pages to be compatible with adaptive technologies used by disabled and visually impaired people, and we ensure that hyperlinks clearly describe where they go.
Accessibility conformance
Our web pages are built to XHTML 1.0 Strict, with presentation controlled by Cascading Style Sheets. These pages meet the checkpoints of the Web Accessibility Initiative and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines to at least Level AA standard.
Font size
Use your browser or the icons at the top of the web page to set the text size. In the browser this can normally be done via the browser's View menu (Go to 'View', choose 'text size', and select the appropriate font size, for example 'Larger').
Page colour
Browsers allow users to adjust colour preferences. In Internet Explorer or Firefox this can be done under Tools – Options. More information can be found on the W3C's web page on how to change text size or colours.
Links
We try to ensure that link text makes sense out of context and that it accurately describes the pages it points to. You can use the tab key on your keyboard (as well as your mouse) to move consecutively from link to link.
Page structure
Each page on our website includes a clear heading. Any consequent headings are introduced in a structured hierarchy, and are clearly marked up using 'h1' and 'h2' tags etc.
Images
A description of every image is provided, either in the alt tag or on the page itself.
PDF files
Some of the information on our website is in Portable Document Format (PDF). You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to read PDF files. Adobe Acrobat Reader can be downloaded for free from the Adobe website.
