Tab order and skip menu function
In case you are someone who uses the tab key to get around a site - we have built the site with the creation of a logical tab order in mind - we hope this helps you to get around as easily as possible. We have also provided the option to skip over the menu on each page, so you don't have to tab through each menu item on every page you visit.
Screen reader users
We have created a logical reading order on the site to help your comprehension of the content when using a reader. We have also used headings and semantic link text to allow you to navigate the site with ease.
Style sheets
The site uses style sheets so if your browser does not support CSS or you wish to use your own style sheets, you can do. If you are not sure how to do this, follow the relevant link below for you browser.
