Navigation Assistance
If you have restricted mobility or wish to avoid repetitive strain injury, you may find it useful to use your keyboard instead of your mouse to navigate our website. By using the Tab button on your keyboard, it is possible to navigate and access all areas of our website. The Tab key allows you to move and browse amongst the menus and links displayed on each page, and pressing Enter will activate your request for a particular menu or link. The arrow keys on the keyboard will enable you to move up or down the page or from left to right. If using a mobile device, you can navigate around the site just by touching your screen or swiping left or right.
Our website uses cascading style sheets (CSS) for visual layout. All pages are built using a structured mark-up, so if your browser or browsing device does not support style sheets (or you choose to turn them off) the main content on each page is still readable. Our websites also use relative font sizes - you can choose to adjust the size of the text if you find it too small or too large to read. One easy way if using a PC is (in Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox browsers) you can adjust text size by holding down the CTRL key and pressing the + and - keys. Windows users with a wheel mouse can adjust text size by holding the CTRL key and turning the wheel. If viewing our website on a tablet or mobile phone, you can pinch the screen to zoom in/out accordingly.
