Ease of Use

This site has been designed for use by all members of the community, whether experienced internet users or not. The layout has been created with visually impaired users in mind and is fully compatible with browser-reading software. The site can be navigated using the keyboard alone; hopefully making it easier to use for physically disabled people.

 

Increasing text size

Some users might find screen text easier to read by increasing the size at which text is displayed. To do this you can simply adjust your browser's settings.
If you use Microsoft® Internet Explorer go to the VIEW menu, select TEXT SIZE and then either LARGER or LARGEST.  If you use a Mozilla-based browser (such as Firefox), go to the VIEW menu, then TEXT STYLE, then choose Increase until the text is whatever size you require. Alternatively, hold down the Control (Ctrl) key and use the + and - keys to increase or decrease the text until you find a size you are comfortable with.

 

Adobe® Acrobat® PDF Files

Some documents on this site are provided in '.PDF' format. On selected pages there is also the opportunity for you to ‘PDF this page.’
PDFs (portable document format) are suited to downloading and printing. To view a PDF your browser requires the use of a plug-in called the Acrobat® Reader. Adobe Reader is free and available to download from the Adobe® website. Visually impaired users who require browser-reading software can download an Adobe plug-in for your browser.
