Accessibility

Balfour Beatty Capital strives to ensure that our websites are user-friendly and accessible for as many people as possible. We recognize that some internet users have difficulties using the web and so our website has been designed to try and encompass the needs of as broad a range of users as possible.

We are committed to maintaining an accessible site, this is an ongoing process and we welcome feedback from any users on the content and accessibility of our website. If you have any problems using this website or require any of our information in another format then please email marketing@bbcap.co.uk or use our contact details to get in touch with any questions you may have.

Accessibility Features

The website is styled using cascading style sheets (CSS) which should produce a consistent layout in most major browsers. The website has been designed to be easy to use if style sheets are turned off or you implement your own style sheets for better accessibility.

Text size can be enlarged using the controls present in most major browsers by at least a couple of levels (e.g. ‘largest’ in Internet explorer or zoomed twice in Firefox) and should not affect the layout of the site. If very large text is required then we would recommend that you use your browser controls to turn off styles sheets (CSS) before increasing text sizes to extremely large sizes or if your browser allows, you may make use of your own stylesheets.

All our web pages have links in the content which are normally not visible while using the website’s default stylesheets, which allow users with screen-reading software to skip over major sections of the page content, for instance to navigate past the main content to the navigation or search sections.

Links to other pages in our website open in the same window. To return to the previous page, use the browser "back" button.

Links to external sites, and to documents within the website open a new browser window. To return to the previous window, close the new window. Documents included in the website may be in Adobe PDF format or Microsoft Word documents. Should you not have programs capable of displaying these types of document then links to free software for displaying PDF and Microsoft Word documents are available below.

Access Keys

Access keys let you navigate around a website without using keyboard shortcuts. You may find them a convenient way to move round the site without having to move your mouse at all. Unfortunately, different browsers use access keys in different ways. In general you need to hold down a key or two, and then press the access key you want.

The access keys we have provided throughout the website are as follows:

S - Skip content up to navigation
