Welcome to www.CompassDisabilty.org.uk

This has been designed so that it is accessible to all users, irrespective of browser type, speed of connection or physical ability.

If you have any problems with our website, please contact us and tell us about the problem and what you experience.

Text Size

You can alter the size of typeface simply by choosing one of the 'A's by Text Size at the top of the page.

Colour Blindness

The website has been designed throughout in tonal stripes which will enable people with visual impairments such as colour blindness, to read the site with comparative ease.

If your browser will not open Portable Document Format (PDF files), Word documents, or Excel spreadsheets, which we use on some of its webpages, please refer to the Plug-ins and Players link below.

This website is made using stylesheets. If you suffer from a visual impairment these may not be best for you. Your browser has settings that allow you to choose your own stylesheet. If you use Internet Explorer 5.5 or above on Windows, One format is a website that helps you design and install your own stylesheet. Abilitynet explains how to change the size and style and colour of your text and colour of the background for other browsers as well as Internet Explorer.
