Talis Aspire and Accessibility

Introduction 

For Talis, user experience is about the engagement of the user and making their experience as efficient and enjoyable as possible, whoever they are and whatever their needs.

Our policy is to meet, and - where possible - exceed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG) at Level AA.
