Accessibility

We are committed to ensuring our website is as accessible as possible for all our users, including those who are visually impaired or have other disabilities. We hope you find the following information helpful in accessing all the content on this site.

Access keys

We have created a number of access keys to help you skip to important content more quickly.

s = skip navigation
t = top of page
1 = home page
3 = site map
4 = search
0 = this page

If you are using Microsoft Windows with a web browser other than Internet Explorer, hold down the Alt key, and press the access key you need. If you are using Internet Explorer, follow the same process, but then also press the Enter key.

If you are using an Apple computer, hold the the left-hand Control key, and press the access key you need.

You can adjust your computer's settings to increase or decrease the size of the text on this site. The process varies according to which browser you are using - in most cases you can change text size via the View menu.

Browsealoud

This website is Browsealoud enabled so you can have the site read to you.

Browsealoud can be useful if you find reading large amounts of text on screen difficult - for example, if you have visual or literacy impairments.

You need to download the Browsealoud application before you can listen to the website being read aloud.

Interoperability

We have taken a great deal of care to create an interoperable website, and our home page is regularly checked to ensure it is XHTML + RDFa validated.
