Website Accessibility

In the development of the Fostering Achievement website, we have worked towards adding a significant number of accessibility features. These features complement the use of assistive technologies and to help make the site usable to the broadest possible audience, everyone from those who use assistive technologies to those with a low end browser or computer.

We hope that our website is both informative and easy to use - however, if you do experience any difficulty using the website, we would appreciate your assistance in improving our service. Please use our Contact Form to inform us of your problem.

Details on how to use our accessibility features are listed below:

Links & Images

Necessary links were assigned 'TITLE' attributes to describe the target in greater detail. Users of assistive technology may wish to set screen reader options to take full advantage of this feature.

Links pointing to resources outside of this website have been marked as "External Links" where appropriate - External links will open in a separate window/tab.

Images used in this site include a descriptive 'ALT' attribute. Those images which are purely decorative or used for layout include a null 'ALT' attribute.
