Visual Design

This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout. If you feel the site is too hard to view, feel free to select, from below, a different look to the site. The accessible link will reverse out colours and increase text size to help with the interpretation of content on the site.

Note: If stylesheets are turned off, or not supported by your browser, the content on this site can still be accessed and read. All fonts are relative allowing users to resize text if required.

Features to enhance the site's accessibility

All text should be resizable using the browser text resize option. If using Internet Explorer on a PC go to the View menu and select 'Text Size' and choose the appropriate size text, e.g. 'largest'. For users of Safari on the Mac go to the View menu then choose "Make Text Bigger".
All images have been given appropriate alternative text.
A "breadcrumb" trail feature is provided to aid navigation in that is displays the current page’s context within the site structure. The "breadcrumb" trail can be found directly under the banner graphic on each page where the text "You are here" is. On this page it is: Home -> Contact Us -> Access Statement.
