Accessibility

Standards based design

The site uses CSS (cascading style sheets), level 2.1, for text and layout.

Pages in this site meet the following W3C accessibility and quality standards, which gives greater cross-browser compatibility and readability by specialist access software.

Links

To comply with accessibility guidelines, most links on this site do not open in a new window but should there be an exception to this rule, you will see this symbol or this one (the latter refers to a pdf document).

Zoom and text resizing/formatting

The site design supports text resizing for the main content.  However, Internet Explorer 7 provides a better option to this by giving the opportunity to zoom in or out. One click on the 100% sign at bottom right hand corner of the browser window takes you to 125%, a second click to 150% and a third back to 100%.

Alternatively, you can set the size to whatever you want by using the arrow.
