A number of features have been implemented on this site in an attempt to make it accessible to everyone. Although we continue to test and modify our web site for accessibility, there may be some legacy pages and applications that are not fully compliant with our standards. Please contact us if you have problems accessing this Web site.
At present, we are aiming to comply with our interpretation of Priority 1 of World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and some features also contribute towards compliance with Priority 2 and Priority 3 guidelines.
Pages on this site validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
Using the Tab Key
You can use the TAB key to navigate through the main features of the page such as links and form fields:
Skip navigation
A 'Skip navigation' link has been provided at the top of each page to enable people to go directly to the main content of the page without needing to repeat the navigation links.
Images
An alternative text description has been added to images, where appropriate. These descriptions will be displayed as 'tooltips' in the browser when the mouse is hovered over the image and will be read out by screen readers. Images which have been used purely for decorative purposes contain a null value so that they will not be read by screen readers or generate a 'tooltip' unnecessarily.
New Windows
Hidden text has been used to warn users of screen readers of pop-up or additional browser windows.
Changing the Text Size
Text throughout the site (including navigation) can be made bigger or smaller within the browser to suit your needs.
