Accessibility

This website endeavours to conform to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0. The Accessibility Guidelines explain how to make Web content accessible to people with disabilities. Conformance to these Guidelines helps to make the Web more accessible to users with disabilities and benefits all users.

There may be some pages that do not conform to all the guidelines. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the whole site conforms, this is an ongoing process and older content may not yet reach the standards in all areas.

Text resizing

This can be activated through the 'Text larger / smaller' links at the top of the page. When the text size reaches 20px a new wide layout is triggered ensuring that the layout is not compromised. (Please note, our text resizing feature is dependent on javascript being turned on.)
Where our text resizing feature is not available, you can achieve the same result independently by following these instructions:

• 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
