Accessibility Statement

Our policy

Redrow aims to provide a website that is accessible to all of its website visitors. In order to do this we have implemented key accessibility features to comply with the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

Please contact us should you wish to feedback on the accessibility of the site so we can continue to improve the usability of the Redrow website.

Accessibility features

Links

  1. Many links have title attributes which describe the destination of the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target (such as the headline of an article).
  2. Links are written to make sense when read out of context.

Skip links

For the benefit of the visually impaired, a number of hidden "skip" links are embedded into each page to aid navigation. These links are hidden in a standard web browser but will be read aloud by text reading software.

Users can navigate to the following areas of the page:

From the top of the page:

  1. main content area
  2. stylesheet switcher

From the bottom of the page:

  1. main content area
  2. main navigation

Images

  1. All images, with the exception of background images and images inserted via server sided code, used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes.

Visual design

  1. This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.
  2. This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers.
  3. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.

Forms

  1. All forms follow a logical Tab sequence.
  2. Labels are associated with fields using HTML label tags.

Scripting

While JavaScript is used on the site to improve usability, all pages and processes, except those hosted by third parties, are still accessible and usable if JavaScript is not available.

Standards compliance

  1. Our 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).
  2. We aim to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) of 1995 with respect to the provision of services online, as required by the Disability Rights Commission (DRC). http://www.drc-gb.org
