Accessibility Statement

Newpark Sports Centre is committed to providing information and services, which are fully accessible to all of our customers. The aim of the website is to make it as accessible as possible regardless of the ability or disability of the user. Good design improves access for all users. It has been designed in accordance with the WC3 Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. It conforms to most of the priority 1, 2 and 3 checkpoints subject to some clarifications as outlined below:

Website Design
The website was developed using XHTML and Cascading Style Sheets, which are screen reader friendly and more accessible. It has been designed in a manner that avoids clutter and provides a consistent navigation style. The use of colour, breadcrumbs and links to the main thematic areas on each page allows for easier navigation.

The website content is separated from the presentational elements, which makes it available to visitors using technologies such as screen readers.

Font Size
There is an option for each user to increase or decrease the font size being used on the site.

Search
A new search engine has been included, which has improved the retrieval of information and also allows for an advanced search function.

Images
All images have ALT descriptions unless they are decorative in which case they have null values.

Tables
The use of tables has been kept to a minimum on the site.

Browser Testing
The website is coded to Transitional XHTML standards. All pages have been verified using the W3 Organisations validator. In addition sample pages are checked using most modern browsers.

All older browsers can access the website although the content maybe without graphical layout due to lack of CSS compatibility within the browser.

Maintaining accessibility
Newpark Sports Centre is committed to maintaining and monitoring the accessibility of this website. As part of this process we welcome any comment, suggestions or details of problems encountered from users.
