Our aim
We seek to make our website accessible for everyone, and our aim is for it to conform to level AA of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
Maintaining an accessible website is an ongoing process and we are continually working to offer the best experience. We regularly test the site using a range of assistive technologies, and continue to do so on a regular basis. If you have any problems using this website, please let us know.
Using the keyboard to navigate
If you have restricted mobility, you may wish to use your keyboard instead of your mouse to navigate the website. By using Tab and Enter on your keyboard, it is possible to do this. The Tab key allows you to move and browse among the menus and links displayed on each page, and pressing Enter will activate your request for a particular menu or link.
You can skip the primary navigation dropdown links while browsing with your keyboard by pressing Tab and the Left or Right Arrow.
The arrow keys on the keyboard will enable you to move up or down the page or from left to right. The arrow keys will also help you navigate dropdown lists.
Changing text size
Please use your browser settings to change text size. These settings will usually be found under 'View' or 'Settings' on your browser menu. Here you will be able to specify what text size is displayed on your computer screen.
Changing colour scheme
Most browsers will allow you to change text and background colours. These options can usually be found in the 'Settings' options on your browser.
Portable Document Formats (PDFs)
Our website uses PDF documents which are accessed by selecting the appropriate document links. To view a PDF, you may need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader first. This is a free software package. PDFs will open in a separate tab on our website.
