Accessibility statement

 

We have tried to make this website as accessible as possible and easy to use for everyone, regardless of circumstance or ability.

 

We are making every effort to ensure that we don't exclude any users. For example:

 

• * We try to use clear and simple language.
• * We use alternative text for all our images
• * The HTML we produce conforms to the standard: XHTML 1.0 Transitional

 

Text Resizing

This can be activated through the 'Text larger / smaller' links via your browser.

 

• PC / Internet Explorer 6 From the top menu bar, select View and point to Text size
• PC / Internet Explorer 7 From the menu bar underneath the search field, select Page and point to Text size
• PC / other browsers Increase text size: Hold down the CTRL key and press + Decrease text size: Hold down the CTRL key and press -
• Mac / all browsers Increase text size: Hold down the Command key and press + Decrease text size: Hold down the Command key and press -

 

We decided not to use access keys after they caused confusion in our user testing. (The users who might have benefited from access keys already used keyboard shortcuts, and said that additional, site-specific access keys were not helpful.)

 

Please contact us if you have any questions, if you are having difficulties using the site, or would like to know more about what we are doing to make our websites accessible.
