Our site’s code

The site has been built to comply with the W3C’s (x)HTML 1.0 Strict and CSS 2.1 standards. At every stage our code has been checked for accessibility using a range of automated and, more significantly, manual checks. In older browsers (Netscape and Internet Explorer 4 and earlier) it will appear as an unstyled document. All information and functionality will still be accessible.
