Adjustable Text Size
We appreciate that you may want to alter the size of text whilst browsing our website so we have added a feature to enable you to do this. At the top of every page on our website there are three icons which are the letter A at different sizes (these are text links if you are viewing the text only version). These icons represent the different text sizes you can select: Small, Medium and Large. When you click on a text size icon the text size will automatically be adjusted.
When you return to the site in future the text size should be at the size you set it to when you last visited the site.
Most modern browsers allow you to alter the text size through a menu option. If you wish to use your browser’s text size option instead of using the text size feature we have created that will work as well.
Text Only Version
If you wish to view the site as text only and with a high contrast colour scheme, we have included ‘Text Only Version’ links at the top of every page. To switch to text only mode simply click on the ‘Text Only Version’ link. To return to graphical mode when in text only mode, click on the ‘Graphical Version’ link.
When you return to the site in future, if you last viewed it in text only mode, it should display the site in text only mode again.
Print Version
At the top of every page, next to the text size icons, is a print icon. When you click on this, your browser's print dialog box will appear. When you print out a page, you will notice that we have designed this site so that when you print it you only get the information you need - menus and web-only features are not printed.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
The W3C have produced Web Content Accessibility Guidelines under their Web Accessibility Initiative. The aim of these guidelines is to make web content accessible to people with disabilities.
Whilst developing this site we have worked hard to ensure triple A compliance with version 1.0 of these guidelines. We have consulted with the RNIB in order to identify and solve accessibility issues. If you come across any accessibility issues whilst using our site we’d appreciate it if you contact us and make us aware of the problem so that we can resolve it.
