Accessibility

We've designed this website to be accessible and easy to use by anyone, whatever their age, background, internet access device or level of ability or disability. We're constantly checking that the whole website remains accessible, easy to read and that the information we publish is accurate and up to date.

This page describes our website's various accessibility features, and our site visitors can change the size and colour of the text and background colours.

A list of available access keys is also displayed on this page. Access keys provide keyboard shortcuts and offer an alternative means of site navigation. They enable users with limited physical capabilities to navigate our site more easily:

• For Windows users, you can press "ALT" plus the listed access key (Firefox browser users use "SHIFT" and "ALT")
• For Macintosh users, you can press "Control" plus the listed access key
• Pressing "Enter" will then take you to the page.

Every page on this website features a Skip Navigation link to allow users to jump directly to the contents of each page. This makes it easier for people who use access technology and avoids repetitive navigation links.

For a more detailed description of how this site is structured, please see our Help page.
