Access is one of the core values behind the development of this tool and we aim to make all information and processes contained in it accessible to all.

This website uses valid CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and valid XHTML (eXtensible Hypertext Markup language) to separate the content from the graphic design. This aids accessibility by making it easier for the user to read pages with assistive technologies.
