Website Accessibility

A hidden menu is placed at the start of each page to allow screen reader users to link to the main sections on the page. HTML tags are used for headings. Navigation menus are marked up as HTML lists.

All images include a brief alternative text to describe the image or its function. This is usually only visible when the browser’s automatic image loading feature is turned off.

Users can change the font size by using their browser settings:

• Internet Explorer – Select View > Text size, then select your preferred size
• Mozilla Firefox – Select Tools > Options > Content > Fonts and Colours, then select your preferred size
• Netscape – Select View > Text zoom, then select your preferred size
• Opera – Select Tools > Preferences > Web pages > Normal font, then select your preferred size
• Safari – Select Safari > Preferences > Appearance, then select your preferred font and size
• Chrome – Select Tools > Zoom, then select your preferred choices using the plus and minus keys

To conform to W3C guidelines, this site uses cascading style sheets. You can replace these with your own style sheets by changing your browser settings:

• Internet Explorer – Select Tools > Internet options > Accessibility; click on checkboxes to ignore colours, font styles or font sizes; click checkbox entitled ‘format documents using my style sheet’, then browse to your preferred style sheet and click OK
• Netscape – Select Edit > Preferences > Appearance, then select your preferred choices
• Mozilla Firefox – Select Tools > Options > Content > Fonts & Colours, then select your preferred choices
• Opera – Select Tools > Preferences > Web pages > Normal font, then select your preferred choices
• Safari – Select Safari > Preferences > Appearance > Standard font, then select your preferred choices
• Chrome – Select Tools > Options > Under the hood > Change font and language settings, then select your preferred choices
