Accessibility features
We have implemented the following accessibility features on this website to make it easier to use for people with disabilities. The features improve navigation for screen reader users, keyboard navigation and users of text-only browsers.Navigation shortcuts
A link at the start of every skips the navigation and jumps directly to the main content of the page.
Buttons to the main pages of the site have been assigned access keys.
Access Keys
Access keys are keyboard shortcuts that replace the need to use the mouse for navigation in browsers that support them. In Internet Explorer on Windows, you can press ALT + an access key; on Macintosh, you can press Control + an access key. Then press Enter to activate the link.
The following access keys are available thoughout the website:- S Go to main content
- 0 Jump to accessibility page
- 1 Jump to Home page
- 2 Jump to news page
- 3 Jump to sitemap page
- 6 Jump to Help page
- 8 Jump to Terms & conditions page
- 9 Jump to Contact us page
These access keys have been chosen to follow the UK Government website guidelines where applicable, in order to support the adoption of a useful standard. Wherever possible, they also avoid conflicting with commonly-used screen reader keyboard shortcuts.
Headings and navigation menus
- HTML heading tags are used to convey document structure. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags for subtitles, and so on. For example, on this page, JAWS users can skip to the next section within the accessibility statement by pressing ALT+INSERT+2.
- Navigation menus are marked up as HTML lists. This ensures that the number of links in the list is read out at the start and it can be skipped easily.

This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the use of structured semantic markup ensures that the content of each page is still readable and clearly structured.
