At Green Energy Centre we are committed to taking all reasonable steps to ensure that the material published on our web site is accessible to all users.
We have constructed this site to conform with the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act as closely as possible.
Some of the documents on this website are published in PDF format and require a suitable reader such as the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, which may be downloaded here.
If you use assistive technology (such as a Braille reader, a screen reader, TTY, etc.) and the format of material on our server impairs your ability to access the information, please contact us here. To enable us to respond in a manner most helpful to you, please indicate the nature of your accessibility problem, the web address of the requested material, and your contact information.
Usability
To make the site as user-friendly as we can, we have incorporated a number of features that will make it easier for you to find your way around and view our content:
- Consistent and relevant page titles.
- Consistent presentation - The site is built from a number of templates, offering consistency as you use the site.
- All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.
- Wherever possible we will provide documents in an HTML format for viewing online with web browsers or using assistive technologies such as screen readers.
- Cascading style sheets have been utilised for visual layout. This gives benefits in terms of accessibility, although the different ways in which web browsers interpret style sheets may lead to some minor formatting errors. Even if your browser does not support stylesheetsl, the contents of each page should still be readable.
- This site uses only relative font sizes, which means you can to alter the font sizes to suit your preference.
