Arun

We have tried to make this website easily to use for people of all abilities and disabilities.

It meets all the government requirements around disability but maintaining an accessible website is an ongoing process and we are continually working to offer a user friendly experience. If you have any problems using this website, or want to contact us with any suggestions about how we could improve things, please Contact Us

As part of our efforts to make our website accessible to all we are pleased to announce that our web site is speech-enabled. This will assist those with reading difficulties, literacy problems, mild vision difficulties and where English is not their first language.

The site can be speech enabled on demand using a variety of accessiblity softwares available for Windows PCs and Apple Macs.

Navigation assistance: keyboard or mouse?

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 get around our website. By using Tab and Enter 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.

Changing text size

Please click on the buttons on the toolbar right at the top of this website to enlarge or reduce the text size. There are two text sizes available, choose your desired size and this will automatically change the size of wording in our website.

Useful tips for accessing information

Throughout our website we use PDF (Portable Document Format) documents which are accessed by clicking on appropriate document links. To view a PDF, you may need to download Acrobat Reader first. This is a free software package and is available by clicking on this image:

The BBC's 'My Web My Way' website gives very easy to follow step by step instructions on how to adjust your browser (and computer) to suit your own particular needs as does the RNIB site.

You can watch a short movie (eg 2 minutes 42 seconds) by Accessify on the You Tube website about how to change the text size settings in your browser.
