We aim to make our website accessible and usable for people of all abilities and disabilities.

For example, many people use assistive technologies to allow them to view websites in colours that are easier to read, with larger fonts or as spoken text, or to navigate around a website with a keyboard rather than a mouse.

Consistent Petruth Paddocks header and footer navigation
Our navigation is coded as lists to make sure they can be read by screen readers
Heading elements (H1, H2, H3) are used throughout the website
Images have an alt attribute to describe their content unless they are purely decorative
