How to use the site

We are continually making improvements to enhance the accessibility of our web content and our website had been designed with this in mind.

For instance:

• Header elements are used to guide page structure.
• Web pages can be viewed at a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels.
• We have used a style sheet and relative font sizes on all text, with the exception of graphical text.
• You can alter the size of text either by using the website's font size controls or the "view" option in your browser.
• Images conveying important information have alternative text. Where the images are purely decorative, the alternative text will be left blank.
• A site map provides information about the website's layout.
