In the preparation of this site, accessibility to users with visual and other relevant impairments has been considered.
We have tried to ensure good contrasts of colours for text and backgrounds as well as adding links on invisible graphics have been provided to allow users of screen readers to skip menus etc and to be sure they have reached the end of the page.
Accesskeys have been assigned to many links. Windows users can navigate with the accesskey feature by typing 'ALT + Accesskey'. Mac users would use 'CTRL + Accesskey'. Internet Explorer users may also need to press the 'ENTER' key to activate the link.
- The Home Page link has accesskey "m"
- The left menu will be assigned "0" to "9" from the top
- Print this page has accesskey "-"
- Tell a Friend has accesskey "="
- To reach this page use "x"
- To go to the top of the page use "/"
