This site meets most of the WAI web accessibility requirements from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The pages have been tested with a variety of browsers and operating systems, and should work properly in them all. You should be able to ‘read’ all the content and navigate using the navigation menu, even in a browser that does not support style sheets. However, if you have any difficulties, or have any suggestions for improvements, please contact us via email webmaster@nzfamilies.org.nz or fill in the feedback form on the Contact us page.
