STAR2Cs strives to make its website accessible and usable for all users.

The STAR2Cs website has features that allow its users to find the information they need in the way they find easiest. The site has been designed to adhere to best practice by following W3C standards. Pages have been built to comply with a minimum standard of WCAG 2.0 single ‘A’ guidelines.

Introduction

The STAR2Cs site uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to control all presentation and layout so that content is well structured and easily accessible via assistive devices. This creates a website that is accessible to screen readers and is usable in most browsers, including including Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge.
