Accessibility

The ECS Accessibility Team is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.

We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and in doing so adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.

This website endeavours to conform to the latest Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1, W3C World Wide Web Consortium Recommendation 05 June 2018 (How to Meet WCAG 2 (Quick Reference)) "The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) develops strategies, guidelines, and resources to help make the Web accessible to people with disabilities."
