Barnetts Solicitors take its responsibilities under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) seriously and recognises that the services we provide must be offered on equal terms to all people in the community.

We are committed to providing our online services to all. Our website design is constantly being improved to follow the accessibility guidelines issued by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Barnettsare working towards 'AA' compliance with the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). We are continually updating this site to achieve these standards and details of improvements made will be listed here.

The following is a list of some of the actions we have already taken in order to improve accessibility of the Barnetts website:

• Use of alternative text to describe images. This is useful for text-based browsers and/or for users with visual impairments.
• Use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) which means that it is easy for a user to over-ride page settings to make it easier for them to view the page. In this way you can:
• Increase contrast between background and text for readability purposes;
• Change text colours;
• Change background colours.

Please let us know of any accessibility issues you encounter whilst using our web site by emailing

We have used PDF (portable document format) to deliver some content on this website. This is a format which retains the document's original 'look and feel' which may be important for forms and legal documents, or for ensuring appearance on the website is comparable with the printed version. There is a link to the Access Adobe website where you can download a free program which will convert PDF documents to HTML or plain text.
