Accessibility for people with disabilities We are committed to complying with the Disability Discrimination Act and have made every effort with our website to reduce the barriers experienced by people with disabilities. We are aware, however, that occasionally we do make mistakes. If you find any of our pages inaccessible to you please use the feedback form to let us know (including details of the technology you are using) and we will make every reasonable effort to either remove the barrier or provide the information in a format that you find acceptable. Access keys If you have difficulty in using a mouse or similar devices, you can use keyboard shortcuts. We follow the Government access key system and information on how to use each of the keyboard shortcuts available is below. 0 - Access key details 1 - Home page 2 - not in use 3 - not in use 4 - not in use 5 - not in use 6 - not in use 7 - not in use 8 - Website Disclaimer 9 - Contact us S - Skip navigation Depending on your browser use one of the following methods to use access keys:
Resizing text If the text is too small for you to comfortably read then you can resize it accordingly. Instructions are given for major browsers below: Internet Explorer 4: Choose View>Internet Options…>Accessibility… and check the ignore font sizes specified on web pages option. Click OK, OK, and then you can alter the text size using the View>Text Size option Internet Explorer (version 5 and later): Choose Tools>Internet Options…>Accessibility… and check the ignore font sizes specified on web pages option. Click OK, OK, and then you can alter the text size using the View>Text Size option. Mozilla FireFox Select the keys CTRL and + (From menu: View, Text Size, Increase) together to increase text size and CTRL and - to reduce it (From menu: View, Text Size, Decrease). All other browsers should be able to resize the text directly from the menu bar. Please see your specific browser help pages if you are having difficulty. Low Graphics pages Although not strictly text-only, these pages are quicker loading and useful if you do not need the images or if you are on a slow connection. Downloadable documents Where possible we try to provide downloadable documents in multiple formats including PDF and Microsoft Word format. If you have difficulties obtaining information from a PDF you can use Adobe's web-based conversion service to produce an HTML version (however, please be aware that the standard of HTML produced is not great). If you find any of our downloadable documents present a barrier to accessing information because of a disability please contact us giving details of the document in question, the problems encountered and what we could do to help. |
