Screen reader/voice browser/screen magnifier users
Our navigation mechanisms are accessible by screen readers and voice browsers. In addition, skip links allow the user to by-pass the navigation to the main content and also go directly to the site map.

Alt keys assist the users as follows:
Alt key + M + Enter key will take the user to the top of the main content panel
Alt key + N + Enter key will take the user back to the main navigation
Alt key + L + Enter key will take the user to the left hand navigation of that section
Alt key + S + Enter key will take the user to the site map

Text equivalents of all images have been provided and the relevant page and table header tags inserted.

Partially sighted users - changing the font size
In order to change the font size select "Tools" and then "Internet options" from the toolbar of your browser, click then on "Accessibility" and tick the box for "Ignore font sizes". If you are using Internet Explorer, select "View" from the menu bar, then "Text Size" and select from "Smallest" to "Largest". In Netscape, select "View" from the menu bar, then "Text Size" and select from "Smaller", "Larger", % values or "Other".

Colour-blind users
We have checked the site font and background colour combinations for the different colour-blindness conditions and ensured that items are not referenced by colour alone. Should you wish to change the colour of text and background by introducing your own style sheet, please follow the instructions in changing the style sheet.

Keyboard-only users
The web pages on the site have been tested for use in keyboard-only operation. When using the forms or controls for the tools, the keys to use are as follows:

• To select/unselect a check box, use the space bar
• To move forward between links, use the tab key
• To move back between links, use the Shift + tab keys
• To initiate an action button, use the Enter key when the action button is selected.

Changing the style sheet
Users may import their own style sheet into the website. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, then Internet Options and then Accessibility. Next click on any or all of three checkboxes to ignore colours, font styles or font sizes. In the same window, you can change the style sheet by clicking the checkbox that says 'Format document using my style sheet', then simply browse to your preferred style sheet and click ok. In Netscape, select Edit, then Preferences and then Appearance. You will then be given a choice of colours and fonts.

External links
Every link to an external site or a download will open in a new browser window.
