Accessibility
The WBS web site is designed to service the widest range of people using the widest range of technologies. By using style sheets, we separate content from its presentation, so that our site remains functional whether you're using a high-specification graphical browser over broadband, or a Braille browser on a wireless modem connection.
Page styles
All the styling in the site uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), which you can override or replace with your own.
Headings
Each page is grouped with headings - if your web browser or reader has a "headings-reading mode" or equivalent, you can use this to skip through the major sections of any page.
This mode can also help with using the site navigation bar; it has a level-two heading "Site navigation" just before it, while each of the top-level links inside the navigation is a level-three heading.
Keyboard navigation
We have provided a series of keyboard shortcuts intended to help users who have difficulty in using pointing devices such as a mouse.
Check your browser documentation. Typically, you will need to hold down Alt and then press the relevant access key.

Web standards
As part of its Web Accessibility Initiative, the web standards organisation, W3C, has published Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
WCAG has three levels of measures to support accessibility.
We aim to meet or exceed Priority 2 Double-A (AA) across the WBS web site.
There are occasional pages, particularly where we use content supplied from sources outside WBS, where we cannot guarantee Double-A rating. If you find any pages which are inaccessible to you, please let us know and we will try to help you.
