Accessibility Statement

This site has been designed in such a way as to make it as accessible as possible for end user, no matter what method or software is chosen to read it with. Below is a summary of the steps we have taken to ensure maximum accessibility.

Accessibility Features

Keyboard access

On each page a 'skip to main content' link allows direct access past the navigation bars to the page's main content, which should make navigation easier if you are using the keyboard or other input device to browse
Each navigational link has a logical tab order and the menus are fully functional without requiring use of a mouse
