Adjustable Text Size

At the top of every page on our website there are two 'Up' and 'Down' links. When you click on a text size link 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, 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’ links at the top of every page. To switch to text only mode simply click on the ‘Text Only’ link. To return to graphical mode when in text only mode, click on the ‘Graphical View’ 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 Only' link, is a 'Print' link. When you click on this, your browser's print dialog box will appear. 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
