Accessibility features

Some key accessibility features are described below for those who may wish to take advantage of them.

'Skip to..' links

• A 'Skip to content' link (accesskey: S) is provided on each page that will enable users of browsers such as screen readers to jump directly to the main content on the page, avoiding all of the standard navigation links.
• A 'Skip to navigation' link is provided on each page that will allow users of screen readers to jump directly to the main navigation area.
• A 'Skip to site map' (accesskey: 3) link will take users straight to the site map at the bottom of each page.
• 'Back to the top' links are also provided at the bottom of each page and on long pages, saving users of screen readers from having to scroll unnecessarily.

Accesskeys

Research suggests that accesskeys could very well conflict with keys that are already assigned by a disabled user's assistive software. As a result, only the following keys (recommended by the UK Government access keys standard) can be used on pages:

Press ALT or CTRL (depending on your operating system/browser) and one of the following keys to highlight a link. Press enter to select the link.

• S - Skip to main content
• 1 - Home page
• 3 - Site map
