Accessibility

At Solent News, we recognise the importance of making our web services available to the largest possible audience and has attempted to design and develop this website to be accessible by all users.

Where possible this web site has been coded to comply with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Accessibility Guidelines Priority Levels 1, 2 and 3 (Conformance Level "AA").

Images contained on the Solent News site contain 'alt tags' which aid users who listen to the content of the site by using a screen reader, rather than reading the site. Likewise, a 'skip to content' link provides these users with a method for bypassing the header and going directly to the main content each time a page is accessed (see top of the page).

We will continue to test future releases of this site and remain committed to maintaining its compliance with appropriate accessibility guidelines and serving the widest possible audience for our services.

For questions about our continuing efforts to make web-based information accessible to all users, or to report an accessibility problem on any of our pages, please use our general contact form.
