We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to all and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

We aim to adhere as closely as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines provide guidance on how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us provide a site that is accessible to all people, from the blind to the motor impaired.

We will utilize all commercially available technology and staff will make all reasonable efforts to ensure its website (s) is accessible to all persons, including those with disabilities; and in support of this objective it will follow and strive to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) as released and updated by W3C.

We will use reasonable efforts to ensure that our policies, practices and procedures governing the provision of our services to persons with disabilities are consistent with the following principles:

1. Services are provided in a way that respects the dignity and independence of persons with disabilities.
2. Persons with disabilities are able to benefit from the same services, in the same place and in a similar way as other staff or visitors; and

• Persons with disabilities have opportunities equal to others to obtain, use and benefit from our services.
