    Accessibility

    This site has been designed to be Accessible for people with any degree of visual or motor impairment and users of screen readers.

    Note that for all links to documents on this site, the type and file size is shown.

    Audio content and navigation for talking browsers and screen readers has been checked by listening to the site using JAWS. The site is also compatible with Supernova and IBM Home Page Reader when using Internet Explorer 5 or above. All trivial images have null Alt text.

    Please click on the links to find out about more about the Accessibility of this website:

    Low Graphics

    In addition to Accessible graphical pages, the website also provides a Low Graphics option that eliminates most or all imagery from a page. Listeners may also find it easier to hear object-heavy pages (e.g. lots of flash) as the low graphics involves repetitive phrases.

    Access the low graphics version of this website using the 'Low Graphics' link at the foot of this page.
