Accessibility Statement

The Neuchi web site has been designed to be as accessible as possible to all users irrespective of how they access the site.

However, we recognise that accessibility is a subjective experience and therefore we’d like to encourage you to let us know if you encounter any problems using the site. We will take action and respond as quickly as we can.

Conformance

The web site conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines from the Web Accessibility Initiative - part of the World Wide Web Consortium.

In addition, the latest best practice techniques have also been used where appropriate. Best practice is important as the accessible design community is constantly evolving better solutions to accessibility problems.

Why Design For Accessibility?

Accessible design benefits all users not merely disabled ones. Accessible design means that web sites are easier to use in every respect and better for search engines to index – everyone benefits from accessible web sites.

It is a popular misconception that web accessibility is just about disabled users such as the visually impaired. Not true! It also includes those with equaly dibilitating conditions such as dyslexia, colour blindness, and mobility / dexterity impairment caused by conditions like arthritis.

UK's Office for National Statistics Labour Force Survey, Winter 2004 suggests that as many as 20% of the working age population have disabilities that accessible web design can help.

Accessibility and The Law

All web sites based in the UK are required to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that the content is accessible according the Disability Discrimination Act 1995.
