This website has been developed to serve the largest possible audience, using the broadest range of systems and to consider any needs that users with disabilities might have.

You can control the look and functionality of this website, depending on your computer settings.

Most computers will have accessibility settings you can change including; the way the screen looks (e.g. changing; fonts, sizes, colours, etc), the way the keyboard or mouse works and possibly speaking and listening to commands as well as a range of other features.

As several organisations have already produced lots of very good content about how to make computers and websites more accessible, we have linked to these sites rather than duplicate this content.

At the top of each page there is a option to resize the text on this website, this is done by clicking on the different sizes of capital A. The text can be either standard size, larger or extra large. The text size you choose is remembered on your computer so that when you return to the site, the text should be size that you set last time, this is done by placing a cookie on you computer. The text resize will work on most but not all parts of our site.

Access keys can be used via a keyboard as an alternative form of navigation.

The table below displays the main access keys on the Website:

Notes:
The access keys follow the UK Government access keys standard.
The access key 8 - Terms & conditions has not been used because there is not an appropriate page to link to on this site.
The above access keys work on most but not all parts of our site.

By downloading some software this website can talk to you. To find out more please go to Talking Website - Browseloud.
