Accessibility
The Ministry of Defence is committed to making its corporate website www.mod.uk easily accessible to all sections of the public, in line with the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (c. 50).
The site aspires to the following web standards:
W3C WAI Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 1.0 Conformance Level Double A or WCAG 2.0 equivalent where applicable
Valid W3C XHTML 1.0 Transitional
Valid W3C CSS 2.0
Accessibility is defined as the ability of people with disabilities to perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with websites.
The www.submarinedismantling.co.uk website mostly conforms to W3C WAI's WCAG 1.0 , Conformance Level Double A.
The website supports text-only browser and speech browser navigation using a keyboard rather than a mouse. The standard screen display of colours and text sizes can be altered to different combinations.
All existing content produced by authorised publishers, and new, updated, and existing content provided for our site by third-party developers, will conform to WCAG 1.0 Conformance Level Double A or WCAG 2.0 Conformance Level Double A equivalent where applicable, by end December 2009, in line with Cabinet Office recommendations for government websites.

We operate within a devolved publishing environment and thus we cannot check in detail whether all site contents are fully accessible. We can only be certain that the core site design meets all access needs where we have had feedback from a wide range of users.
We would therefore be especially interested to hear from site users who have special access needs about their experience of using the site.
