[How we've tried to make this web-site as accessible as possible]
This is the official accessibility statement for tennis-gloucestershire.
Since this site's accessibility (making the content available to as wide an audiance as possible) is an ongoing process this document will be reviewed and updated as necessary.
Access keys
Most browsers support jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the web site. On Windows, you can press ALT + an access key; on Macintosh, you can press Control + an access key.
All pages on this site define the following access keys:
- Access key 1 - Home page
- Access key 3 - Site map
- Access key 4 - Search
- Access key 9 - Feedback
- Access key 0 - Accessibility statement
Standards compliance
All pages on this site are designed to be Bobby AAA approved (automated accessibility validation), complying with all the Bobby guidelines. This accessibility validation service is an automated service that is designed to identify errors and potential problems, however, many accessibility features can be measured, but many can not. I have reviewed all the guidelines and believe that all these pages are in compliance. Another accessibility validation service is provided by the Cynthia Says Portal. This service does seem to provide more accurate results, although the results of any such automated service need to be interpreted carefully.
All pages on this site are designed to be WCAG AAA approved, complying wih all priority 1, 2, and 3 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Again, this is a judgement call; many guidelines are intentionally vague and can not be tested automatically. I have reviewed all the guidelines and believe that all these pages are in compliance.
Whilst we do not at the present time have any British web accessibility guidelines (although this will change in the very near future) all pages on this site are Section 508 approved, complying with all of the U.S. Federal Government Section 508 Guidelines. Again, a judgement call. I have reviewed all the guidelines and believe that all these pages are in compliance.
All pages on this site validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional. This is not a judgement call; a program can determine with 100% accuracy whether a page is valid XHTML. For example, check the home page for XHTML validity.
All pages on this site use structured semantic markup. For example, H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags for subtitles.
Links
Links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail
Wherever possible, links are written to make sense out of context. Many browsers (such as JAWS, Home Page Reader, Lynx, and Opera) can extract the list of links on a page and allow the user to browse the list, separately from the page.
There are no "javascript:" pseudo-links. All links can be followed in any browser, even if scripting is turned off.
There are no links that open new windows without warning.
Images
All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes.
Visual design
The content of this site is totally separate from the visual style. 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.
