We have done our best to ensure that as many people as possible will be able to use this site.

Text Size
You will be able to increase the default text size of this site in any modern Browser by pressing Ctrl and the + key at the same time.
Skip Links
We have included “Skip Links” on each page in the form of links accessible via keyboard navigation (tabbing) at the top of the page. These links will allow you to skip various elements of the page such as navigation and take you straight to the page’s main content.
Skip Links are particularly useful for those using text readers so that when they arrive on a page they don’t have to sit through the navigation menu being read to them every time.
Keyboard Users
Anyone who prefers to use their keyboard to navigate their way around a website rather than their mouse will find that this site has been built with that in mind.
All items on the page including Form Items have been built in a logical “Tab Order” to prevent confusion. All links are also highlighted when they are “tabbed to” plus those using modern browsers will see highlighted form fields when they tab to the particular field.
Access Keys
We have not used Access Keys on this site due to their tendency to interfere with the normal operation of the keyboard.
Text/Background Contrast
Finally we have also used a deep grey font colour on a white background for the main content of the site to ensure a high enough contrast between them as recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium.
