Steps we’ve taken
Here’s some of the steps we’ve taken to ensure accessible web pages:
Using alt tags on images
Using sufficient contrast on colours
Using CSS to allow the separation of style and content
Providing alternative content where page elements are not accessible/unsupported
Captioning or providing transcripts for audio/video content
Publishing pages generated from valid HTML templates
Communicating best practice to all web editors, encouraging the use of appropriate headings and clearly labelled links
