0 Accessibility information
To use these access keys hold down ALT, press the specified key and press ENTER. So to get to the homepage, hold down ALT + 1 then ENTER. Some software already has these keys reserved, but you can generally still use them on the number pad without difficulty.
Hyperlinks
Many of the hyperlinks in this site have title attributes. These describe the link in greater detail, occasionally providing guidance if the link is to an external site or triggers the opening of a new browser window. If you use a mouse, you can view these titles by holding your pointer over the link. No essential information is held in the link titles, merely additional guidance.
Skip navigation links
An invisible 'Skip to Content' link appears at the top of every web page on our site. This link allows you to skip to the main part of the page. There is also a 'Skip to Navigation' link directly after it to enable you to skip straight to the top of the navigation bar. You can use these at any time by pressing the access keys ALT+s (Content) or ALT+n (Navigation) followed by ENTER.
Font Sizes
All fonts on this site are defined with relative sizes allowing you to choose your own text size. Different browsers have different methods for increasing the text size, but they are always found under the 'View' toolbar with a name like 'Text Size' (internet Explorer (IE)), 'Increase text' (Netscape) or 'Text Zoom' (Mozilla).
In addition, if you have a mouse with a wheel and use Internet Explorer, you can hold down the left CTRL key and roll the wheel up and down.
For more drastic alterations to the look and feel of the site, in IE, go to the 'Tools' menu and select 'Internet Options'. At the bottom of the window there is a tab called 'Accessibility' where you can turn off all defined fonts and CSS styles, thus rendering the site in whatever style you find most comfortable.
Images
All images used in this site include alt attributes, providing descriptive detail and replicating textual content where necessary. Some images that are purely for aesthetic reasons, such as curved edges on boxes, are assigned a blank alt tag, rather than a descriptive one, in order to simplify screen reader use of the site.
Colour
Colour is never used to convey information on this site.
Design
This site is designed using validated transitional XHTML 1.0 and cascading style sheets (CSS) for both visual and print layout.
