Accessibility statement

The NCO website has been developed to comply with the WCAG 2.0 Accessibility Guidelines. We are continually making improvements to meet these guidelines, and our website has been designed with the following accessibility guidelines in mind:

Our pages are designed so that they can be viewed at a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels.
Valid XHTML code and correct use of markup has been implemented.
A stylesheet is used on our website and relative font sizes on all text with the exception of graphical text.
Text can be increased or decreased in size by using the tool to your left underneath the search box.
A text only version can be viewed by clicking the text only link under the search box.
Images that convey important information have alternative text which can be interpreted by screen readers. Where an image is used for a decorative purpose the alternative text will be left blank.
No information is exclusively conveyed using colour.
A site map is available which lists all pages on the site so that they can easily be accessed using the keyboard.
Access keys are enabled which allow you to jump to navigation and content
