Dandara recognises the importance of providing a website that is accessible to all user groups, including the disabled. We have implemented the following accessibility features on this website to make it easier to use for people with disabilities.

Access keys
We have provided a series of keyboard shortcuts intended to help users who have difficulty in using pointing devices such as a mouse.
Most browsers support jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the web site. If your using Firefox on Windows, press ALT + Shift + the relevant access key; on Macintosh, press Control + the relevant access key. Then press Enter to activate the link.
All pages on this site define the following access keys:
- Access key 1 - Homepage
- Access key 0 - Accessibility Statement (this page)
- Access key T - Top of the page
These access keys have been chosen in accordance with the UK Government's e-envoy guidelines.
If you have any questions or comments or if you use this facility and wish to suggest additional access keys, please contact webmaster@dandara.com
Headings and navigation menus
- HTML heading tags are used to convey document structure. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags for subtitles, and so on.
- Navigation menus are marked up as HTML lists. This ensures that the number of links in the list is read out at the start and it can be skipped easily.
Visual Design
All images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include empty ALT attributes.
Colours
We have checked the site's font and background colour combinations against the different colour blindness conditions and ensured that all information is still clear.
Font sizes
You may change the font size to your preference through your browser:
- In Internet Explorer, select View, then Text Size, and then your preferred size.
- In Netscape select View, then Text Zoom, and then your preferred percentage size.
Style sheets
This site uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for visual layout. If your browser does not support stylesheets, the use of structured semantic markup ensures that the content of each page is still readable and clearly structured.
Scripting
The site is fully accessible if scripting is unavailable.
Links
Linking text have been written to make sense out of context.
Where appropriate, links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, for example to advise you if the link will open in a new window.
Standards compliance
All pages conform at a minimum to Level A compliance as specified by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and endorsed by the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB). The majority of Level AA and Level AAA requirements are also met.
We strive to obey the spirit of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) of 1995 with respect to the provision of services online, as required by the Disability Rights Commission (DRC).
