We like to think that all visitors to our site find the information they are looking for quickly and easily. That is why we try to make this site easy to use and easily adaptable to suit your needs.

Finding your place in the site

The navigator to the left of each page shows you each area you can visit. The current area or page is highlighted. Each option also has a longer explanation which can be seen by leaving your mouse over the option for a couple of seconds. When you want to go to our home page, you can either click on the 'Home' option or you can click on the orange banner at the top of every page.

Keyboard shortcuts - Accesskeys

Each option in the navigator to the left can be accessed using your keyboard, as well as your mouse. You access the option by pressing the 'Alt' key and the number for that option. Depending on your browser, you may then need to press then 'Enter' key. Please note that this feature does not work in all browsers.

Increasing the size of the text

We have tried to make the text size on our site easy to read, but if you find that you would prefer the font size to be larger or smaller, then you can easily control this using your browser settings (something that doesn't work on many sites). Please note that if you change the text size you view our site at, this will affect all other sites you see until you change your browser setting back again. If you use Internet Explorer, click on the 'View' menu and select the 'Text size' option followed by your preference.
