Approach
Investis’ website is being developed to support Internet users who have disabilities. We believe the web pages on the site are in line with RNIB’s ‘See It Right’ accessibility criteria, which includes all of the priority level 1 criteria of W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Any new information added to the site will be compliant with RNIB’s ‘See It Right’ accessibility criteria.Select the following links to access specific details for:

Screen reader/voice browser/screen magnifier users
Navigation mechanisms have been built that are accessible by screen readers and voice browsers. In addition, skip links have been added to allow the user to bypass the navigation to the main content and also go directly to the site tools.Alt keys have been built to assist the screen reader, voice browser and screen magnifier users as follows:
- Press ALT + M then 'Enter' to go to the top of the main content panel
- Press ALT + T then 'Enter' to go to the site tools
- Press ALT + N then 'Enter' to go to the main navigation.
Alternative mechanisms have been provided where JavaScript is used within the site.
Partially sighted users
We have provided the facility to change the font size of the text in the web pages of the site. To do this, if you are using Internet Explorer select ‘View’ from the menu bar, then ‘Text Size’ and select from ‘Smallest’ to ‘Largest’. In Netscape select ‘View’ from the menu bar, then ‘Text Size’ and select from ‘Smaller’, ‘Larger’, ‘% values’ or ‘Other’.Colour blind users
We have checked the site font and background colour combinations for the different colour blindness conditions and ensured that items are not referenced by colour alone.Should you wish to change the colour of text and background by introducing your own style sheet, please follow the instructions in Guidance on how to change the style sheet.
Keyboard only users
The web pages on the site have been tested for use in keyboard only operation. When using the forms or controls for the tools, the keys to use are as follows:- To select from drop down boxes, use up and down arrow keys
- To select/unselect a check box, use the space bar
- To move forward between links, use the tab key
- To move back between links, use the Shift + tab keys
- To initiate an action button, use the Enter key when the action button is selected.
Guidance on how to change the font size
Users can change the font size through the browser. If you are using Internet Explorer, select ‘View’, then ‘Text Size’ and then your preferred size. In Netscape select ‘View’, then ‘Text Zoom’ and then the size.Guidance on how to change your style sheet
Users may import their own style sheet into the website. In Internet Explorer, select ‘Tools’, then ‘Internet Options’ and then ‘Accessibility’. Next click on any or all of three checkboxes to ignore colours, font styles or font sizes. In the same window, you can change the style sheet by clicking the checkbox that says 'Format document using my style sheet', then simply browse to your preferred style sheet and click OK. In Netscape, select ‘Edit’, then ‘Preferences’ and then ‘Appearance’. You will then be given a choice of colours and fonts.What to do if you have questions or feedback
