We are working towards WAI (Web Accessibility Initiative) AA standard for this website. We're aware that not all of the site currently complies but are addressing these issues. Content on legacy sites may not be up to this standard. There may also be things we've not noticed and we'd like to hear about them - please let us know.
More information on WAI can be found on their website.

Adherence to these standards helps to ensure that this site is accessible to visitors via a wide range of computer platforms and browser software.

Most web browsers support the association of keyboard 'access keys' to jump to specific links defined on a webpage and these access keys can be used consistently to aid non mouse-driven site navigation. However the use of certain keystroke
combinations are known to be reserved in certain browser technologies. For a trial period we have associated the access key Z with our 'skip to content' jump link throughout the site. Please let us know if this helps or hinders your use of the
site.
The text on this website can be enlarged using your browser (although some of our older legacy sites may not be as responsive).

The visitor information page for each venue has a section on accessibility on the gallery. It covers the facilities available in each venue, access to the building etc. This information is available to print off and take with you to the venue. If you require further information please contact the venue directly.
Also, the Disabled Go website has visited and audited several of our venues, and hopes to do the rest shortly. There is a link to these audits from the access section of the visitor information page of each venue they have visited so far.
We regularly feature events supported by British Sign Language. Visit our 'what's on' section to search for these.
A draft of our Disability Equality Scheme is available on this site. It is important that members of the community comment on this so that we can improve the scheme. Any comments would be gratefully received, with details on how to contact us available with the policy.
