Accessibility

Riverton takes pride in the accessibility of its website, and is committed to ensuring that the website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. 

The website has been designed with a number of accessibility features which are listed below. If you have any questions regarding this Accessibility Policy, or if you have any difficulties accessing content on our website or have trouble using any aspect of the website, please do not hesitate to contact us. If you would like more information about the service we provide and how we can deliver information in different formats, please visit our enhanced service requirements page. 

We seek to meet the Priority A and AA selected guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Our website is tested on a regular basis to identify potential problem areas and to ensure we meet the spirit as well as the letter of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

Images on our website have alternative text attributes, often known as alt text. This means that when an image is used on a web page to convey information, its content is also described in the alt text. When you use alt text the image can be understood by text browsers and assistive technologies such as screen readers. If an image is used for simply decorative purposes, the text attribute for the image is left empty in line with accepted best practice.

Riverton’s website uses font sizes that you can control using your web browser. You can also manually change the text size through your web browser.

To change the text size in Microsoft Internet Explorer select View > Text size followed by your preferred text size from Smallest to Largest. The default setting is Medium.

You can change the text size in Mozilla Firefox and other Mozilla-based browsers by selecting View > Text size followed by Increase or Decrease. To return the text size to its default setting, select Normal.

The fonts on Riverton’s website have been chosen for their legibility on computer screens. The layout has been designed to respond to the width of the browser, so that you can resize the browser to suit your own viewing preferences.
