If you are struggling to read the text because the font is too small, you can adjust it by clicking the ‘A’ buttons in the navigation bar.

Clicking the smaller ‘A’ will reduce the font size, Clicking the largest ‘A’ will increase the font size and clicking the middle ‘A’ will reset the font size back to its original size.

The changes you make will be applied throughout the website and be remembered the next time you visit the website on this device.

Our main three colours have a high contrast ratio of 6:1 when seen against to white. But despite our best efforts though to create an accessible brand, we realise that some people will still struggle to distinguish between the colours on our site. In light of this, we have also added a contrast button ‘‘, so you can change the colours to suit your individual needs.

Clicking the button will cycle though three different options. Our normal brand option, a high contrasting colour option and also black and white option.

Chose whichever one is best suited to you and your selection will be remembered the next time you visit on this device.

Keyboard accessibility is a really important aspect of accessibility. Many users rely on a keyboard to navigate on the web.

We have tested our website using the TAB key to navigate through the website, and tried to make sure all our interactive elements have a clear focus, presented in an obvious manner and a logical order.

We have also added a ‘Skip to content’ link on each page, so that getting to the content you were looking for is as easy as possible.

We provide a breadcrumb trail to help users visualise and how content has been structured and how to navigate back to previous pages.

It also helps you to identify your current location on the website.

Screen readers are essential for visually impaired persons when they are using the internet. They can give people with visual impairment much more independence.

Most screen readers work by having a voice read the text from the web pages out loud. Others can communicate using a braille display. Some can be quite expensive. Below are some links to the best free screen readers that are available.

• NVDA (Windows)
• Serotek System Access (Windows)
• VoiceOver (OsX)
• Orca (Linux)
