Accessibility statement

This is the official accessibility statement for Boyes Turner's suite of websites.

Access Keys

Most modern browsers support jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the web site. To use access keys with a Windows operating system, press ALT + the access key; on Mac, press Control + the access key. This website uses the UK Government Access Key standard:



Standards Compliance

  1. The majority of pages on this website aim to be accessible to WAI WCAG AAA and every effort has been made to comply Priority 1, 2 and 3 of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines as interpreted by the Web Team. This is always a judgement call as not all accessibility features can be measured. Pages where it has not been possible to meet AAA/Level3 are the contact us page due to the limitation of the 3rd party api.
  2. Most pages on this website validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
  3. All pages on this website validate as CSS 2.
  4. All pages on this website use structured semantic markup. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags for subtitles.


Visual Design

  1. This website uses Cascading Stylesheets to seperate structure from presentation. If your browser does not support stylesheets, content is still available.
  2. This website uses relative font sizes, compatible with Text Size options on modern visual browsers. This tool is available in the menu of the following browsers:

    • Internet Explorer 5, 5.5, 6 (PC): View > Text Size
    • Firefox, Netscape 8: View > Text Size
    • Opera: View > Zoom
    • Netscape 6, 7, Mozilla: View > Text Zoom
    • Safari (Mac): View > Make Text Bigger
    • Internet Explorer 5 (Mac): View > Text Zoom

  3. This website does not rely on images and where used, a text alternative is provided.
