The W3C WAI (Web Accessibility Initiative) produces accessibility guidelines that are an internationally recognised benchmark of accessibility. In designing these sites, we have attempted to meet the WAI's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 requirements (success criteria) and techniques.

Current technologies These websites use W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) technologies, wherever possible. Pages validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS2, ensuring that they work with a wide variety of browsers. The sites also make use of the following non-W3C technology: Portable Document Format (PDF): Certain documents on this site are available only in this format, which requires you to download and install the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software. Some older PDFs created before Adobe Acrobat version 5 may not comply with accessibility guidelines. If you cannot access the information in any PDF document please contact [email protected]. Further information If you feel that this website could be easier to use, or you have difficulty accessing any information or find that any part of the site is not accessible, please email [email protected] and put “Website accessibility” in the subject line. The NCCA will continue to closely monitor developments and changes in WAI guidelines and general website best practice. The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment is committed to making its websites accessible to all people, regardless of ability. This accessibility statement was last updated in May 2010.
