KERB is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and in doing so adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.
This website endeavours to conform to Priority 1 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and where possible, Priority 2 guidelines. The elements covered by the Priority 3 guidelines are not, in most cases, used by our site, however as the site develops such functions we will aim to be compliant at this level. Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. explains how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines will help make the web more user friendly for all people.

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.
Visual design
This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout. This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified “text size” option in visual browsers. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
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.
Images
A description of every image is provided, either in the alt tag or on the page itself.
All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.
Complex images include TITLE attributes or inline descriptions to explain the significance of each image to non-visual readers.
Whilst KERB strives to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website.
