Accessibility

Workspace Group is committed to ensuring that workspacegroup.co.uk is available to as many sectors of the user community as possible.

The following accessibility features have been incorporated on our website:

There is a text equivalent for every non-text element
Documents are organised so that they can be read without Style Sheets
When scripts, applets, or other programmatic objects are turned off all pages are still useable
Relative units are used in fonts so that users can control the text size
No pop-up or new windows are used without informing the user
Navigation mechanisms are used in a consistent manner
All event-handlers are device independent

While we have tried to ensure that this website is as accessible as possible, if you are having a problem or have any comments regarding the accessibility please contact us at info@workspacegroup.co.uk and we will do our best to help.
