Site Accessibility

The Third Age Centre website has been designed with regard to the recommendations laid down by the World Wide Web Consortium Accessibility Initiative (WAI). In addition we have adopted a number of conventions as listed below:-

• For visitors using screen readers, there is a "Skip Navigation" link at the top of each page. A second set of navigation links has been provided at the bottom of each page.
   
  
• The TAB sequence on each page follows the natural order of links.
   
  
• Access keys have not been provided as the argument about whether they conflict with settings on adaptive technology programmes has not been resolved. Read this discussion from WebAim.
   
  
• A tool for re-sizing the text on the page has been provided at the top right corner of each page (except those served by third party sites). This tool makes use of cookies in order to carry your text-size preference to any page on this site that you may visit.
   
  
• A "Print" facility has been provided at the top right corner of each page (except those served by third party sites). This has been configured so that a print of any page will display only the content in the main body of that page.
