Accessibility Statement

This website has been designed and built to be accessible to as wide an audience as possible. Some people with disabilities find using some websites difficult and while we know that it is impossible to design a site that everyone can use we have tried our best to address this issue. If you do have problems using our site then please let us know and we will do our utmost to help.

Access keys

Most browsers support jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the website. On Windows, you can press ALT + an access key; on Macintosh, you can press CTRL + an access key. However, while this technology may seem 'the right thing' to do, implementing it in a standardised fashion appears to be a bit of an utopia. As there are many shortcut keys already defined by screenreaders and other assistive technologies, forcing pre-defined access keys onto the user may interfere with what they're already using. It is for this reason we don't use access keys.
