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
