Accessibility

We've implemented many features that we hope will help to make the site as accessible as possible to a wide audience. It has been tested across as many different browser and operating systems as possible.

We've implemented keyboard navigation across the site using accesskeys. Full details of the keys in use are available on our accesskeys page.

We have also implemented ReadSpeaker across the site that will mean you can have all the pages read out to you. At the top of each page is a "Listen" link which will activate ReadSpeaker.

If you find the font hard to read on the site, you can change it to Arial using the link at the top of the page.

The site has been made to be XHTML and W3C AA compliant.

Links to external websites will open in a new window.

Files

This site uses the Adobe Acrobat format for displaying documents. A free piece of software is available to download from the Adobe website that will enable you to view and print out these documents.
