Accessibility Testing Results

The sadness here is that the whole site is keyboard accessible but because some labels are missing and links to the actual rich text editor are not available it cannot be seen in text only mode. It is possible to tab into and out but not reach the menu buttons in graphic mode. The menu buttons can be hidden by use of the mouse. The site is very easy to use and allows for good zooming and colour changes via the browser.

# Test Score Summary
