Accessibility

At AdvanceSRM we are committed to making all our online information accessible to all people, including those who have visual, hearing, motor or cognitive impairments in accordance with the UK Special Needs and Disability Act (SENDA) 2001.

Our website developers and designers, Serenity Digital have strived to make the website accessible and with their support we will endevour to 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;
• Our stylesheets allow for text resizing using the View – Text Size option in the browser toolbar;
• The website stylesheets can be easily switched off for high contrast viewing should the theme be difficult 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 sans-serif font is used for easier readability;
• We do not use all-capitals for emphasis, except for visual impact in a minority of cases;
• We use a hierarchy of heading markups i.e a H1 tag for site/page headings, a H2 for page/sub headings etc which makes it easier for screen readers to work out the stucture of a page; and
• Our site can be viewed in a logical order when all styling is turned off.

Helping you make your computer easier to use

If there is an instance when our site does not meet the need of a specific disabled user group we will make changes to our currrent content, wherever appropriate, so that we can become more inclusive to a wider audience. Please contact us if this is the case at john@advancesrm.co.uk.
