Accessibility Web Site and Rating
This site has been designed to meet accessibility guidelines for our special users.
We have requested that the web designers endeavored to incorporate as many features into this web site as possible to enable text readers and other software to use our site, but our main focus has been on function rather presentation.
Whilst image swapping may be entertaining, we have added additional functionality behind these behaviors to ensure that good access is available, although keydown expression are not included in this revision.
Whilst most pages meet the strict standards,some pages required manual verification to pass the necessary tests.
As an example the site does use colour, but not to convey important information, we do swap images but not to provide function, we provide a short redirection page , but again not to prevent access, but to redirect to the main site as quickly as possible, the initial page is only a holding site. Our images do not require extended alternative texts.
The web developers have pointed out that adding the accessibility icons,in themselves, stop the site being accessible and have had to alter their initial coding to make them more accessible, which in itself,is a strange irony.
The Liverpool Trafalgar Group has outsourced the accessibility confirmation to an external company and cannot accept any issues regarding the site or use of icons. In the first instance your comments and enquiries should be directed to the Webmaster's e-mail at the bottom of the page
