Accessibility

Accessibility has been enhanced on this website in several ways.

  • Access keys. These let you navigate this website quickly using the keyboard. If you are using Windows press "Alt", "Shift" and the letter key underlined in the navigation list for the page you want to go to and your browser will go to that page.
    The Access keys for this site are:
    • home page accesskey = Alt, shift + "h"
    • about us accesskey = Alt, shift + "u"
    • news accesskey = Alt, shift + "n"
    • events accesskey = Alt, shift + "e"
    • training and careers accesskey = Alt, shift + "t"
    • research accesskey = Alt, shift + "r"
    • links accesskey = Alt, shift + "l"
    • forum accesskey = Alt, shift + "f"
    • membership accesskey = Alt, shift + "m"
    • members only = Alt, shift + "m"
    • contact us accesskey = Alt, shift + "c"
    • accessibility accesskey = Alt, shift + "a"
  • Skip links and Skip to content. Each page begins with these links so that if you are using a text reader or seeing only the text of the page you can skip to the page content quickly and easily.
  • This site has been designed to work with text reading software. This means that headings, paragraphs, navigation lists and links are presented within the appropriate HTML tags.
  • "ALT" attributes. For visitors who are unable to access the images for any reason the images on our website have alternative text attributes, often known as alt text. This ensures that the image can be understood by text browsers and assistive technologies such as screen readers. If an image is used for simply decorative purposes, the text attribute for the image is left empty in line with accepted best practice.
  • Information separated from styling. All styling has been applied using CSS. This site is designed to allow users to apply their own CSS styling. The presentation of this website can be changed by turning off the style sheet in the browser preferences or by substituting your own style sheet.
  • Text sizes are all scaleable using your browser's text size menu command. You can change the text size in Microsoft Internet Explorer by selecting View > Text size followed by your preferred text size from 'Smallest' to 'Largest'. The default setting is 'Medium'. You can change the text size in Mozilla Firefox by selecting View > Text size followed by 'Increase' or 'Decrease'. To return the text size to its default setting, select 'Normal'.
  • The website's fonts have been chosen for their legibility on computer screens.
  • Minimising the use of images,live text is used rather than graphics wherever possible to reduce page download time and to increase your control over text size.
