Access keys

We use access keys with this website. These provide a keyboard shortcut for users wanting to go directly to specific parts of the site and help those who do not use a pointing device, such as a mouse.

The access keys are:

  • S - Skip navigation
  • 1 - Home page
  • 2 - News and events
  • 4 - Search
  • 5 - Frequently Asked Questions
  • 7 - Contact us
  • 8 - Privacy and data protection
  • 9 - Feedback
  • 0 - Access key details

How to use access keys

Access keys work slightly differently depending on which web browser and type of computer you are using.

PC users

If you are using a PC, press 'alt' and the access key character at the same time. Then press enter to go to the webpage.

Mac users

If you are using a Mac, press 'control' and the access key character at the same time.

Alternative text

We try to make sure that all images on this site have brief alternative text which, where appropriate, identifies an image or its function. This alternative text (alt-text) is generally only visible when the browser's automatic image loading feature is turned off, or when you rollover an image with your mouse.

Links

All text links are written so that they make sense when read out of context.

Text size

The text on this website has been styled using a non-fixed value in a style sheet. This means that users can easily change the text size using their browser settings.
