In technical language, all pages on this site should be valid to Hyper Text Mark-up Language (HTML) 4.01 Transitional and use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).  This website conforms to the Guidelines for UK Government websites and supports the Worldwide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0, Level A, to ensure a Web accessibility standard has been achieved and is maintained. In reaching this conclusion we have used automated testing where this is appropriate, as well as feedback from user testing by our Access Group.

 

This compliance does not cover pages where the functionality relies on image delivery (for example, the coastal assets, industrial estates and water quality databases).

 

This Accessibility Statement does not necessarily apply to our services which are hosted by third parties.
