We have made every effort to provide a useful website for as many people as possible. We continue to monitor our site on a regular basis to improve accessibility for people with sensory disabilities.
Access keys
Most browsers support jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the web site. On Windows, you can press ALT + an access key; on Macintosh, you can press CTRL + an access key.
All pages on this site define the following access keys:
- Access key 1 - Home page
- Access key s - Skip Navigation
- Access key p - Privacy
- Access key 3 - Copyright
- Access key 4 - Search
- Access key 6 - Contact Us
- Access key 8 - Terms & Conditions
- Access key 0 - Accessibility statement
Navigation
Non visual browsers can use the 'Skip Link' link to skip over the navigation bar and go straight to the main content.
Links
Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target (such as the headline of an article).
Whenever possible, links are written to make sense out of context. Many browsers (such as JAWS, Home Page Reader, Lynx, and Opera) can extract the list of links on a page and allow the user to browse the list, separately from the page.
There are no javascript: pseudo-links. All links can be followed in any browser, even if scripting is turned off. Any link that opens in a new window can be identified by text in the link title tag.
Fonts
This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers.
If you are using the latest version of Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator and have difficulty reading pages on this site, menu options are available on your browser to alter/override the text size and text colour.
You can also change the line length, by changing the size and shape of your browser window.
Images
All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.
Structure
All data tables have properly scoped header cells, to allow screen readers to render them intelligently. Where required, tables also have a summary.
