Accessibility features

This website has been carefully designed to be as accessible as possible for all our users. Should you experience any difficulty in using our site using its standard settings, then this page will help you make adjustments.

Text Size

This site uses mostly relative font sizes and therefore is compatible with the user-specified text size option in visual browsers. The text size can be changed by holding down the 'ctrl' button and moving the mouse scroll wheel, or in Internet Explorer through the View > Text Size menu, and in Mozilla/Netscape, through the View > Text Zoom menu.

Internet Exporer 7 Users please note: Using the mouse scroll wheel in IE7 scales the whole screen. To scale text only instead, you must now use the View > Text Size menu.

Web standards

This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout and is built to W3C standards. The XHTML and CSS is valid and the site, according to our judgement of the guidelines, complies with the WAI level 2 accessibility guidelines.

Browser compatibility

We test all areas of our site in all modern browsers on Windows, MacOS and Linux. All pages on this site use structured semantic markup which means that if your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets, the content of each page is still readable and is presented in a logical order.

Javascript

Although this site uses javascript, it has also been designed to work perfectly without it.
