Text Size

Users of Internet Explorer will not be able to alter the text sizes in this site through the View menu. Instead, we have provided a 'size switcher'. Click the icons at the top right of the screen to switch from the 'Default text size' to 'Large text' or 'Extra-large text'.

Headings and Tabbing Order

The use of H1, H2, etc, for headings allows users with screen readers the option of jumping to a new heading.

Pressing the tab key moves logically through the links, enabling users to find pages easily.
