Accessibility

We have tried to make the Barclays Insights website accessible and easy to use for everyone, whichever browser you use and whether or not you have any disabilities.

Its layout takes into account users who are blind or visually impaired. It is fully compatible with popular screen-reading software. If you have difficulty using a mouse, you can navigate the site using only a keyboard.

Changing text-size

Most browsers enable you to resize text on screen so you can read it easily. This feature is available in the menu of various browsers as follows:

Browser	Instructions
Internet Explorer 7, 8 (PC)	Page > Zoom
Internet Explorer 5, 5.5, 6 (PC)	View > Text Size
Firefox, Netscape 8	View > Text Size
Opera	View > Zoom
Netscape 6, 7, Mozilla	View > Text Zoom
Safari (Mac)	View > Make Text Bigger

If you are using a modern browser and have a mouse with a wheel, you can also alter the size of text by holding down ctrl (PC) or command (Mac) on your keyboard while scrolling up and down with the mouse wheel.

Contrast

We have tried to design the site with enough contrast to make it easy to understand, but if any colour combination causes you problems please contact us.

Links

If a link opens in a new window, this will be indicated by a pop-up title text. We try to make sure that link names are distinct and not repeated on pages.

Standards

In technical language, all pages on this site should be valid to Extensible Hyper Text Mark-up Language (XHTML) 1.0 Strict and use structured semantic markup and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

This website conforms to the Guidelines endorsed by the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB). and supports the Worldwide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0, Level AA, to ensure a Web accessibility standard has been achieved and is maintained.

We aim to comply with the spirit of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995 with respect to the provision of services online, as required by the Disability Rights Commission (DRC).
