Guardian News and Media aims to provide a website that is accessible to
the widest possible audience - regardless of ability
or browsing technology and including those who have
visual, hearing, motor and cognitive impairments.
The site aims to achieve overall compliance with the
Web Accessibility Initiative's (WAI) guidelines to
at least single A standard. However where possible
we have tried to ensure that the site meets double
A (AA) standards.
