Accessibility
We recognise the importance of providing a website that is accessible by all users. We are well aware that some people with disabilities find using the internet difficult and we also know that many sites do not accommodate those with visual or other disabilities. With this foremost in our mind we have tried our very best to make this website as accessible as possible.
The Scottish SPCA "He's Behind You" website meets level 1 (and in part level 2) of the W3C's - Web Accessibility Initiative (opens link in new browser window) standards and guidelines for creating accessible websites. We have introduced the following features to ensure the best use of our site by all of our users.
Navigation
A hidden menu has been placed at the beginning of each page to allow screen reader users to link to the main content areas of the page. A hidden link has also been provided at the beginning of each page to provide easy access to information on accessibility.
Colours
We have taken care to ensure that the site's font and background colour combinations contrast significantly and are effective in ensuring information is still clear when viewed in different colour combinations.
Font size
Most of the font sizes we use on our site are sizable. You can change the font size to make it either larger or smaller via your browser settings.
JavaScript
The use of Java script has been kept to an absolute minimum. Where it is used then all pages and process are still accessible should Javascript be turned off.
Links
All links have been written to make sense when taken out of context. Where appropriate, we have also added link title attributes to describe the link in greater detail.
