Accessibility
This is the official accessibility statement for the Paralympic World Cup website.
Any accessibility problems
If you think that there is an accessibility problem with the site then please email us and explain the difficulties you are having. We will try to overcome any problems we are made aware of. Similarly, if you have any suggestions on how we can further make the website easier to use then please let us know.
Below are some of the measures we have taken to ensure accessibility throughout this website.
The RNIB See it Right awards
We worked closely with the RNIB See it Right audit team to design and build this website and were awarded two RNIB See it Right awards in the 2 years of auditing.

As far as possible, we have tried to ensure that:
- All pages on this site use CSS for layout and should degrade gracefully on non standards-compliant Web browsers
- All style sheets conform to W3C recommendations
- All pages on this site use structured semantic mark-up: h1 tags are used for main titles, h2 tags for subtitles, and so on.
- All pages comply with priority 1 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
- All pages validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional
Text resizing
If the text on the page is too small for you to read, you can customise your browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla or similar programme) to make the text larger. If you are using Internet Explorer, choose View then Text Size and select Medium, Larger or Largest.
Alternatively, some browsers allow you to change the text size using the keyboard:
- ‘Ctrl’ key and - (for smaller)
- ‘Ctrl’ key and + (for larger)
- ‘Ctrl’ key and 0 (for default size)
Links
Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target (such as the headline of an article). As far as possible, links are written to make sense out of context.
Images
- All content images on the site use descriptive ALT attributes.
- We have avoided content that causes the screen to flicker.
Other
- We have used the clearest and simplest language appropriate for the site's content.
- We have only used html tables to tabulate data and they have not been used to structure or lay out pages.
- We have ensured that pages are usable when scripts, applets, or other programmatic objects are turned off or not supported.
