Accessibility
Teachers Building Society recognises the importance
of providing a website that is accessible to all user groups. We are
striving to comply with the Priority 1 and 2 accessibility checkpoints
across our web presence, as established in the World Wide Web
Consortium's (W3C) web accessibility initiative (WAI). The WAI promotes a
high degree of usability and accessibility for people with
disabilities. The W3C promotes good practice amongst the web community
via initiatives like the WAI Web Contact Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (http://www.w3.org/WAI/).
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 or higher.
- Images that convey important information have alternative text
added - allowing users accessing the page via a screen reader or similar
assistive technology can form a better understanding of the page and
its content.
- A site map is available to provide information about the layout of the website.
- A 'skip to main content' link has been added to the top of the
page so that you can quickly navigate to the most important content of
the page if you were viewing the site through a screen reader or other
assistive technology.
- All forms follow a logical 'tab' sequence.
We aim to continually improve the usability and
accessibility of this site. If you have any questions or feedback
regarding the accessibility of this site, or if you experience any
difficulty using it, please contact us via the General Enquiry Form or call us on 01202 843500.
