Accessibility

If you are visually impaired or have a disability that might make reading this website difficult then here are some tips to help:

* At the top of your browser window click 'View' and then 'text size' or 'font size' to make the text larger and easier to read.

* If you are using Internet Explorer: at the top of your browser window click 'Tools' and then 'Internet Options'. Under the 'General Tab' you will see 'Accessibility' as an option at the bottom of the window. Click this and you can ask Internet Explorer to ignore colours, text syle and font size.

* There is a range of accessibility software available which will help you read websites as long as they comply with the Disability Discrimination Act. See the links below for suggested software.
