Images and alt tags

We have graphics within the website to enhance the look and feel of the site.  Where images are used we have added 'Alt' tags - text alternatives - so that you will still know what the image is meant to convey even if it doesn't load or if you have chosen to browse with the images switched off or you are using an assistive technology like a screen reader to browse the web page rather than view.

Where there appears a * (star) in the Alt tags, this conveys that the image is for decorative purposes only.
