Accessibility

In keeping with our policy of customers first, and our obligations under the DDA (Disability Discrimination Act), we will ensure that our website is accessible to people who have visual, hearing, motor or cognitive impairments.

Making our website accessible is a core aim of GSB Associates and we will try and ensure that it is usable with a broad range of operating systems, browsers, and specialist assistive technologies.

As a standard, we employ all the following methods to ensure our site is accessible to as many people as possible:

All pictures have an alternative text description

The website can be viewed using a variety of colour schemes ensuring it can be used by visitors who find the existing colour scheme hard to read

We are committed to Plain English in all our written content

Our site has been designed without the use of tables except where we need to represent normally tabulated content i.e timetables

The website can be navigated without the use of a mouse

A non-serif font is used for easier readability

We do not use all-capitals for emphasis

We use a hierarchy of heading markups i.e an <h1> tag for main headings, <h2> for secondary headings etc which makes it easier for screen readers to work out the stucture of a page

Our site can be viewed in a logical order when all styling is turned off
