Accessibility

The GMG is committed to providing access to thegmg.org for all users.

This page describes the key accessibility features used on thegmg.org to help those users who may wish to take advantage of them.

Technical Accessibility:

To ensure the best possible experience for users of a wide range of browsing software, thegmg.org is developed to conform with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 1.0 (WCAG 1.0)

The following keyboard navigation shortcuts have been implemented throughout the site. Press ALT (PC) or CONTROL (Mac) and:

• - 1 for thegmg.org homepage;
• - 2 to skip to the main content of each page;
• - 3 for the site map;

"Skip to content" Access Key:

Each page of the site includes a link that enables users of browsers such as screen readers to jump directly to the main content of that page. This link has the access key 2 assigned to it and is the first item on the page, but may be hidden in some browsers.
