The Association of Lions Clubs in the British Isles and Ireland believes very strongly that the information on our website should be easy to access by anyone.
Meeting standards
Our website has been designed and built to meet the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) web content accessibility 'AA' guidelines.
If you have any comments or queries about the accessibility of our website please email
it@lions.org.uk, and we will do our best to help.
Alternative text
We use alternative (alt) text labels on all the graphics on the website. These appear as you hover over the graphic with a mouse and provide a description of the graphic which can be read in screen readers.
Links
All text links have been written so that they make sense when read out of context (eg by screen readers).
Text size
Visitors can easily increase the size of text on the website by clicking on the ‘Increase text size’ link at the top of any page.
Site visitors can also change the size of the text on screen by using the settings in their browser as follows:
using Internet Explorer, select View > Text Size and select the preferred size
using Netscape, select View > Text Zoom and select the preferred percentage size
using Mozilla Firefox, select View > Text size and select increase or decrease.
Text only version
A text only version of our site is available by clicking on the 'Text view' link at the top of any page. Clicking on 'Text view' removes all the graphics and formatting from the site. This facility is of particular value for visitors who want to magnify the text up to a very large size (there are no overlapping elements), want a higher contrast (black on white) display, or who want to apply their own stylesheet.
Colours
The colours used on the site have been carefully selected to provide appropriate contrast between text and background. They have also been checked to ensure they work for those with different colour blindness types.
