Style Changer
Our website has a Style Changer to allow visitors to choose between four different
styles: Default, Visually impaired, High Contrast, and Print Friendly.
Default Style
The Default style is used the first time you visit the Website. This style has been
designed for general use.
Visually Impaired
The Visually Impaired style has been designed for visitors with partial sightedness, and
may also help visitors with Dyslexia.
This style uses a non-serif font as most people find this easier to read on a screen.
This style also uses colour to create contrast between the text and page background.
High Contrast
The High Contrast style has been designed for visitors with colour blindness, and works
in the same way as the Visually Impaired style, but makes use of colours that are more
suitable for those with colour blindness.
Print Friendly
the Print Friendly style has been designed with printing in mind. This is the style to
choose if you would just like to print the information from a page.
Access Keys
Access keys are keyboard shortcuts for the main links used in this site. How the keys
work varies between platforms and browsers. Most browsers support jumping to
specific links by typing the keys defined on the web site.
As a rule, on Windows, you can press ALT + an access key; on Macintosh, you can press
Control + an access key, pressing the enter key will follow a link.

Skip to Navigation S
You can cycle through all the links by using the TAB key. To open a link which you have
tabbed to, please press ENTER.
(Please note Access Keys may not work on all browsers)
Images and Alt Tags
Where images have been used we have added 'Alt' and/or 'Title' tags. These are text
alternatives so that you can still see what the image is meant to convey if it doesn't load
or if you have chosen to browse with the images switched off. The 'Alt' and 'Title' tags
also help if you are using something like a screen reader to read the web page rather
than view it.
Re-sizable Text
We've tried to use a text size that is easy to read, but if you would like to make the text
size larger or smaller you can do so from within your web browser.
To change the text size from within Internet Explorer 6, or Firefox:



Click on the 'View' menu in your browser.
