Accessibility

Accessibility statement

This is the official accessibility statement for The MGroup. Our website has been designed to be accessible to as many people as possible. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us.

Access keys

For people who use their keyboards to navigate, Access Keys make accessing links much easier. In most browsers you will be able to jump to specific pages by typing access keys defined on this website. If you are using Windows, you can press ALT + an access key and press return; on a Macintosh, you can press Control + an access key.

All pages on this site follow the UK Government recommended access keys standard:

• access key S (ALT+S) - Skip navigation
• access key 1 (ALT+1) - Home page
• access key 2 (ALT+2) - What's new
• access key 3 (ALT+3) - Site map
• access key 8 (ALT+8) - Terms and conditions
• access key 9 (ALT+9) - Feedback form
• access key 0 (ALT+0) - Accessibility statement

Standards compliance

1. All pages on this site comply with all priority 1, 2, and in most cases, 3 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
2. All pages on this site validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
3. The pages on this site use structured semantic markup. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags for subtitles. For example, on this page, JAWS users can skip to the next section within the accessibility statement by pressing ALT+INSERT+2.

Other Accessibility Features

Tab Index

We have used Tab Index on pages that contain forms, to improve keyboard navigation. Tab Index means that when you use the 'Tab' button on your keyboard you will be taken directly to the form fields and buttons, instead of firstly having to tab through all the links that precede the form.

Tables

All the tables in our main content pages are marked up to show the relationship between the table headers and the table cells. This allows 'non-visual' browsers to make sense of the data contained. We have also provided a summary and caption for the table to aid this understanding.

Forms

All of the input elements in the forms on this site are marked up with label tags. These provide several benefits:

• Users who have difficulty navigating through a form with a mouse can, for example, click on the text beside the form elements, such as text input boxes, in order to enter those elements.
• The use of label tags allows screen readers to intelligently announce what a particular input element is, by reading the label.

Acronyms

Acronyms are an abbreviated form of a phrase, using key letters from that phrase. For example VAT for the Value Added Tax.

Some of the content on this website is technical and which means there are a few acronyms. To help you understand these acronyms we have ensured that the first use of the acronym in a page is always shown with it's expanded version.

We have also used special codes to highlight the acronym. If your browser supports these codes the full description will pop up when you hover over the acronym. It will also be highlighted with a dotted underline.

For example, ICAEW

Links

1. 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).
2. Links are written to make sense out of context.
3. There are no "javascript:" pseudo-links. All links can be followed in any browser, with or without scripting.
4. There are no links that open new windows without warning.

Visual design

1. This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout..
   This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user−specified "text size" option in visual browsers.
2. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
