Accessibility

This website has been designed so that it is accessible to as many people as possible.

Using the site

The site has been structured so it is easily navigated. Every page includes the main menu on the left which allows you to switch between sections and to reveal the second level pages within each section.

On some of these second level pages, there is a multipage navigation area that helps you to see what content is within that section.

There is also a search function at the top of all pages to help find the content you are looking for, or alternatively you can use the Site map, which lists all pages within their relevent sections.

Each of the main areas of this website are colour coded to help distinguish between sections.

There is also a breadcrumb trail on every page so you can see exactly where you are in the site, and where you have come from.

Text Resizing

This site has been designed to allow text resizing, with text resizing options on all pages of the site. To enlarge the text, click on the larger 'A' on the top right of the screen. Alternatively, click on the smaller 'A' to decrease the text size. Settings will be saved when you navigate throughout the website, not just for that particular page.

If the text does not change using the in-built functionality as mentioned above, it may be that you have javascript disabled. An alternative method of resizing text is to change the settings in your browser. Read How to change text size or colors (external website) for more information on this.
