Standards compliance and validation

We have striven to make this website adhere to priority 1 and 2 guidelines of the W3 Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. The site was built in consultation with AbilityNet, a body of website experts brought together by the Foundation for Communication for the Disabled and the Computability Centre – both leading charities working in the field of assistive technology for disabled people.

Navigation and navigation aids

  • Primary site navigation is located at the top of each page
  • Secondary navigation elements are contained in the left-hand column. This navigation is not site-wide and varies from page to page.
  • A link to the home page is available on each page through the London Stansted logo.
  • Navigation menus are marked up as HTML lists and styled with CSS.
  • Many links have title attributes, which describe the link in greater detail
  • Links are written so as to make sense out of context
  • Link text is never duplicated. Two links on the same page with the same text always point to the same address
  • Some links, mostly to external sites, open a new browser window. There will always be a warning in either the text or the 'title' attribute of the link
  • Forms have their labels explicitly associated with their controls, aiding users of certain screen readers and speech browsers.

Help with finding content

Every page of the site features a Help link at the top. Our help section exists to help you find key information in the site, and also features tips on how to search the site. Links to our policies, including our privacy statement, our terms and conditions, and this accessibility statement, appear at the bottom of every page.
