Accessibility

In our opinion this site has been designed to be as accessible as possible and compatible with the types of adaptive technology used by people with disabilities, including screen readers. As such visitors can control the size of the text and use 'access keys' on the keyboard rather than the mouse to navigate through the pages.

Access Keys

Access keys are keyboard shortcuts that replace the mouse for navigation. If your browser supports access keys, you can use the following:

1 - Home page
2 - What's new
3 - Site map
9 - Feedback form
0 - Access key details

Access key use according to browser

Netscape 6+: Hold down the ALT key and press the number of the access key.

Font Sizes

You may change the font size of this site to your preference by using your browser text settings (found in Internet Explorer View Menu > Text Size) or by pressing the CTRL key and moving the scroller wheel on your mouse (if your mouse supports it). Alternatively the font size can be changed through your browser. In Internet Explorer, select View, then Text Size, and then your preferred size.

Stylesheets

You may import your own stylesheet into this website. In 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 your stylesheet by clicking the checkbox that says, 'format document using my stylesheet' then simply browse to your stylesheet and click OK.
