Open is working towards complying with Priority 1 and where possible Priority 2 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. We are continually making improvements to meet these guidelines, and our website has been designed with the following accessibility guidelines in mind:

• The site uses a stylesheet and relative font sizes on all text with the exception of graphical text. The font size of text can be increased or decreased in size by using “view” option in the browser.
• All images, where appropriate, have an alternative text attribute. This means that when an image is conveying important information its content is described with an alternative text. Where an image is used for a decorative purpose the alternative text attribute will be left blank.
• No information is exclusively conveyed using colour.

Browser compatibility

This website has been developed to be viewable in the following browsers on both Windows and Macintosh platforms:

• Internet Explorer 6.0+
• Mozilla Firefox 1.0+
