Level A compliance as

Web Consortium and endorsed by the Royal National Institute for the Blind

AA requirements are also met.
All pages validate as XHTML 1.0

The CSS also validates.
We strive to obey the spirit of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) of
1995 with respect to the provision of services online, as required

While we use Bobby
to test for accessibility, it is just one aspect of our testing
procedure. As a computer programme, the Bobby test is not as reliable
as expert evaluation.
