Accessibility
The RCN has re-launched this website very recently, and we are working very hard to ensure it is accessible to everyone. We are working with the RNIB to ensure a fully accessible site. We also aim to reach compliance with Priority 2 of the W3C guidelines.
The accessibility guidelines we follow include:
- Allowing users to control text sizes
- Using an easy to read font type
- Ensuring suitable foreground and background colour contrast
- Using clear and simple grammar
- Providing meaningful text equivalents for pictures
- Providing simple, consistent site navigation
- Ensuring the target of each link is clearly defined
- Providing a sitemap
- Providing navigational shortcuts for users of text only browsers and page readers
- Using appropriate structural mark-up to maximise browser support
- Ensuring all content and functionality is available to users without content style sheet (CSS), image and script support
