We want as many people as possible to have the chance to access This Dad Can.

So, where possible, we consider accessibility in This Dad Can's design and content, especially regarding members who are partially sighted or use screen readers to access the site.

The techs are going to strive to help us meet our responsibilities under the Disabilities Discrimination Act, in particular, the priority 1 and priority 2 guidelines defined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). (For more info, see http://www.w3.org/WAI/).

You can do your bit by avoiding unnecessary punctuation (appalling punctuation will be jumped on in pedants' corner) especially in Talk thread titles.

Text speak (or txt spk) is obviously an abomination, but should also be avoided to help members who use screen readers (strangely, they don't find it very interesting to hear "asterisk, asterisk, asterisk" repeated ad nauseam in a monotone).

If you've got any accessibility suggestions, gripes or questions, please email info@thisdadcan.co.uk and we'll do our best to address them. (Alternatively, just start a thread called Am I Being Unreasonable to want to access This Dad Can?)

Best,

The This Dad Can Team
