The Merseyside Network for Change website has been
designed to be accessible to all users, irrespective of browser
type, speed of connection or physical ability. It is built to exceed
conformance level A of the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
We would like to thank Merseyside Third Sector
Technology Centre (3TC) for assistance with this feature.
You can find out more about these guidelines by
following the W3C-WCAG logo link below.
Resizing Text

To change the size of the text in Internet Explorer
go to

To change the size of the text in Netscape Navigator

Alternatively, if you have a mouse with a wheel,
hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard whilst moving the wheel
backwards, to increase the text size, or forwards, to reduce the
text size.
Accesskeys
Accesskeys are keyboard shortcuts which allow
users to navigate around a website without having to use a mouse
or similar device.
To use these accesskey shortcuts, Windows users
should press the 'alt' key together with the relevant number below,
then 'enter'. Macintosh users should press the 'Ctrl' key together
with the accesskey, then 'enter'.
This website uses the following accesskeys:

Please note that accesskeys will not work on older
browsers which do not support the W3C
HTML 4.0 standards.
Tab Index
It is also possible to use the 'tab' key (together
with 'enter') to navigate this site. The Merseyside Network for Change
site has a logical tab order through links, etc. This takes users
through 'Skip Navigation' (allowing users to jump straight to the
content of the page), followed by links to all the main sections.
This is followed by links to the Accessibility, Legal and Privacy
Statements, a link back to the home page, and then the second tier
navigation. The tab order then takes users through any links in
the content on the page, and finally to an email contact for the
webmaster.
Visual design
This site uses cascading style sheets for visual
layout.
Images
All content images used in this site include descriptive
alt attributes.
W3C Web Standards
An integral requirement of conforming to the WAI
Accessibility Guidelines is that the design and coding of all web
pages adheres to the W3C
standards.
By designing to these standards, the informational
content of web pages becomes accessible to many more people, irrespective
of their physical ability or the internet browsing device that they
may be using.
The following W3C reference links lay down
the content mark-up and styling standards that Merseyside Network for Change has adopted:
