Accessibility

 

We believe that climate change is the single biggest challenge facing all of us today. For this reason, it’s important to us that our website and message is accessible to the widest possible audience.


We have built the CarbonSquash website to the latest W3C standards for code validation, which means that the site will be seen correctly in all the browser types and versions available. You can find out more about W3C at www.w3c.org


As part of our commitment to accessibility for all, we have built this site so that users with disabilities can access our content. We have incorporated standards provided in guidelines from the Web Accessibility Initiative to assist us in building this site with web accessibility in mind, right from the start. If you have any difficulties using this site; or find any aspect of the site inaccessible to you, please let us know and we will do our very best to change this. Feedback

Help for Users

  • If you are visually impaired and not using a screen reader, you can make the font size bigger using your browser settings. In Firefox for example, go to View, Zoom and then choose to Zoom In, or Zoom Text Only. Or use CTRL+PLUS to zoom using the keyboard.
  • We are not using any video or audio technologies which can be difficult or occasionally obstructive
  • We have constructed headings, so that if you are using a screen reader you can navigate by these headings as follows (on most up to date screen readers)
    • H to cycle forward through headings
      Shift + H to cycle backwards
    • 1 to 6 to navigate to headings 1 through to 6
    • Shift + 1 (to 6) to navigate backwards through headings
    • INSERT + F6 to get a list of all headings
  • If you are using Opera as your browser you can navigate our headings using the keyboard as follows
    • S to cycle forward through headings
    • W to cycle backwards through headings
      We have added an additional navigation element specifically for screen readers, which allows you to jump to the key content sections
    • We hope you find using CarbonSquash a positive and rewarding experience.
