    If you use a screen reader

    If you are using a screen reader you will find two links at the start of most web pages; the "Skip Navigation" hyperlink which takes you to the page content and skips over the repeated linked navigation, and an "Accessibility" hyperlink which takes you to this Accessibility Information page.

    The web pages are designed to be easy to use, the information is structured in a meaningful way, headers are used throughout and we have kept our navigation links in ordered lists so you can find or skip them easily.

    Visitors using recent versions of screen readers can navigate using the following keystrokes:

    • H to cycle forwards through the headings
    • Shift + H to cycle backwards through the headings
    • 1 to navigate to the next level 1 heading (or a number between 1 and 6 to navigate to the next heading on this level)
    • Shift + 1 to navigate to the previous level 1 heading (or a number between 1 and 6 to navigate to the previous heading on this level)
    • INSERT + F6 to provide a list of all headings

    If you have difficulty using our website please contact us describing the problem and telling us which screen reader you use. This information will help us improve our website.

    Adobe PDF documents

    Where possible we try not to rely on PDF documents alone. Where there are PDF documents on the website you can download the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.

    If you are using a screen reader you will find information on the Adobe website which provides useful tools and resources including a free online conversion tool for PDF documents.
