The Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain is fully
committed to ensuring that its website is accessible and inclusive
for all user groups, including people with disabilities. The design
and build of the website has taken into account the following
guidelines:
The Disability Discrimination Act states unambiguously that
private and public sector web sites must be accessible. Guidelines
include:
- Allowing users to control text sizes
- Using an easy to read font type
- Ensuring suitable foreground and background colour
contrast
- Using clear and simple grammar
- Providing meaningful text equivalents for pictures
- Providing simple and consistent site navigation
- Ensuring the target of each link is clearly defined
- Providing a full sitemap
- Providing navigational short cuts for users of text only
browsers and page readers
- Using appropriate structural mark-up to maximise browser
support
- Ensuring all content and functionality is available to users
without content style sheet (CSS), image and script support
