This website is run by EKC Group. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.
- We have endeavoured to provide text alternatives for non-text content, this includes extensive use of alt and aria tags, ensuring form controls are labelled. This means you should be able to listen to most of the website using a screen reader.
- The content of our pages is marked up appropriately including headings and structural elements such as header, main, footer.
- Default foreground and background colours provide sufficient contrast.
- We have endeavoured to facilitate navigation by keyboard, ensuring the tab order is appropriate and visible focus is shown.
- The site is responsive and this includes zooming.
- We’ve also made the site text as simple as possible to understand. We have made efforts to provide detailed explanations, info, warnings and errors where practical.
