Accessibility

This website has been developed to Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) level A standards, with the aim of making it accessible to a wide range of users.

The text is resizeable by following these instructions:

• Internet Explorer (PC) and Firefox (PC and Mac), go to "View" on the top menu bar of the browser, scroll down and select "Text Size", then select the required text size.
• For Netscape (PC and Mac) and IE (Mac), go to "View" in the top bar of the browser, then select "Text Zoom", and choose the required text size.
• For Safari (Mac), go to "View" in the top bar of the browser, then choose "Make text bigger" or "Make text smaller" in the dropdown.

Hyperlinked text has been written to clearly describe the target links, and therefore should be understandable even when removed from context.

A site map has been provided, and lists and links all the pages on the website.

'Skip to main content' links, which enable screen-reading software to bypass repetitive navigation links, have been implemented.

In general, web pages have been constructed in a two-column layout. Visitors using certain screen-reading software should set that software to column detection mode.

The site may use PDF documents for press releases, technical documents and guides, and other informative material. To convert these to an accessible format, visit the Adobe Access website, or the Adobe Simple PDF Conversion facility.

Links to PDFs and external websites all open in a new browser window.
