In its efforts to allow the website to be accessed by everyone including people with disabilities the Centre has endeavoured to reach the standards of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 1.0 from the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) the foremost authority on web accessibility. We feel the Centre has reached the Conformance Level "AA": all Priority 1 and Prioity 2 checkpoints are satisfied and on many pages, such as the home page for example, the AAA accessibility standard. The main website links and site search each have accesskeys for keyboard navigation. They are:
Windows users can navigate with the accesskey feature by typing ALT+Accesskey. On the Mac, use CTRL+Accesskey. Internet Explorer users may also need to hit the "enter" key to activate a link. |
