Summary of the features of this website:
- To aid people who use screen readers, 'invisible' links have been placed at the top of the webpage that allow these users to skip straight to either the content or the menu of the site. These links also make it easier to navigate this website via a PDA or a mobile phone.
- Accesskeys have been used to facilitate site navigation. Most browsers support jumping to specific links by typing special keys, similar to how typing 'Alt-f' on your keyboard will open the 'File' menu of your browser or other software. On Windows, you can press 'Alt' + an access key and then enter to activate the accesskey; on Macintosh, you can press Control + an access key. The following accesskeys are available in this website:
- 1 - Home page.
- 2 - Skip to main content.
- 9 - Contact page.
- 0 - Accessibility information (this page).
- s - Go to the top of the current page
- Acronyms and abbreviations that aren't links will appear with a light colored dashed underline and when hovered show the question mark ‘help’ cursor. If you hold your mouse over any acronyms or abbreviations, 'tooltip' text will pop up and offer a definition.
We deem this site to have passed the requirements to be Level AA, if not Level AAA according to the standards set by the W3C. If you have encountered problems while viewing this site, please let us know.
