Oxford University Press is committed to ensuring that its websites are accessible to the widest possible audience, including individuals with disabilities. We aim to be standards compliant and follow general principles of usability and universal design, which should help all visitors to this website.

Accessible design
Many websites contain significant barriers to access by not considering disabled users in the design phase. The Oxford Education site has followed a number of key guidelines, particularly the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, to ensure that this website is accessible as possible. Use has also been made of techniques to help users of assistive and adaptive technology, with our aim being to provide one version of the site which everyone should be able to use. Features to help in this aim include:

• Use of style sheets rather than tables to control the layout of the page and to separate the content from the display
• All images contain an alternative textual rendering
• All data tables and forms contain additional markup that may help assistive technologies such as screen readers
• Appropriate use of HTML tags

Standards compliance
This Oxford Education website is intended to meet at least level 2 (AA) of the W3C's Website Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Guidlines. For more information about the WAI Guidelines please see: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (external website).

We have also aimed to make all our pages validate as XHTML 1.0, transitional DTD, as specificed at http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/. They should also comply with CSS 2, as specified at http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/.

By meeting these standards we hope to make our site as inclusive as possible, and also to comply with UK legislation including the Disability Discrimination Act (1995) as amended by the Special Education Needs and Disability Act (2001), which states that it is an offence to discriminate against a disabled person by treating him or her less favourably than others for a reason relating to their disability.
