Accessibility Policy.

Creating accessible web sites isn't purely altruistic - though there's nothing wrong with a little altruism.

Accessible web sites are more easily 'read' by search engines such as Google, so are more likely to appear near the top of searches.

And, because accessible web sites are built by people with technical skill, they tend to be easier to use and navigate.

As far as we know, this web site is as accessible as it could possibly be whilst maintaining a strong design presence. (Do you know otherwise? Please let us know.)

However you are accessing this site, you should have no problems reading and interacting with it.

The font size can be easily changed and the site uses external style sheets to dictate the layout (so those of you with screen readers shouldn't have any problems with the apparent 'columns') and, where relevant, images are tagged appropriately.

This site has been tested in Internet Explorer 6*, 7 and 8 (PC) , Firefox 1.5 and 2 (PC and Mac) and Safari 4 (Mac) but if you have any problems accessing this web site, please contact us and we'll do our best to sort the problem.

If you do contact us, please let us know as much technical detail as you can about your set-up (web browser, operating system etc). Thanks.

Privacy Policy

When visiting this web site, the only information we collect about you is very generic - and cannot be used to personally identify you, unless you have given your permission for it to do so.

Broadly, this information includes:

  • the domain or ISP you used to visit the site (for example, Virgin Media, BT or AOL)
  • the date and time you visited
  • the page(s) that you visited (let's us know what's popular - or not)
  • the page you left the site from (if everybody leaves at the same page, it suggests we should take a look at that page!)

However, if you do provide us with any personal information (by emailing us perhaps), we reserve the right to store this information for reference purposes. Which, in plan English, means your email will sit in our Inbox(es).

How will we use this information? To reply to your enquiry is usually as far as it goes. If the information is stored any longer, it's usually because we're working with you.

We may also use this information to send you any information you request - such as newsletters etc.

Please be assured though, we will not disclose, give, sell or transfer any personal information about our visitors, unless required by law (and there's not much we can do about that).
