We are constantly working to make brioleisure.org as accessible as possible for all our visitors.
It is our aim to create a website that stands out.
The problem with trying to make a fully ‘inclusive site’ is that no single solution meets the needs of all users – and we’ve found that sometimes trying to improve the site for one particular disability can have an effect on our ability to meet the needs of another section of our audience. So while we do work to achieve all World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Version 2.0 ‘Double A’ standard as a minimum, sometimes we may not have got quite there on some pages.
We also try as much as possible to allow you view and use the Brio Leisure website the way you want to – not the way we make you.

Help with hearing the website
ReadSpeaker ProReader is a web service that reads the text content on a web site out aloud.
On the Settings page you can choose how you want it to work.
You can have the text that is read displayed in the window, select text size, colour and make other changes on how the text is shown.
It is also possible to make ProReader highlight the text as it reads on a word by word basis, sentence by sentence basis or both. Support for JavaScript must be switched on for the highlighting function to work.
