These features have been provided to help make our site as accessible as possible to as many people as possible.

• Text should be resizable using your browser's text-resize option

• All images have been given appropriate alternative text
• A navigation bar linking to the main sections of the site is provided at the top and bottom of each page

Visual Design

• Cascading Style Sheets have been used to control the presentation of pages and properly structured markup has been used for content.
• If stylesheets are not supported or are turned off, information on the site can still be accessed and read

Text resizing

Relative font sizes are used, which allows users to resize text as needed. This can be activated through the 'Text larger / smaller' links at the top of the page. When the text size reaches 20px a new wide layout is triggered ensuring that the layout is not compromised. (Please note, our text resizing feature is dependent on javascript being turned on.)

Where our text resizing feature is not available, you can achieve the same result independently by following these instructions:

• PC / Internet Explorer 6 From the top menu bar, select View and point to Text size
• PC / Internet Explorer 7 & 8 From the menu bar underneath the search field, select Page and point to Text size
• PC / other browsers Increase text size: Hold down the CTRL key and press + Decrease text size: Hold down the CTRL key and press -
• Mac / all browsers Increase text size: Hold down the Command key and press + Decrease text size: Hold down the Command key and press -
