2. All pages on this site use structured semantic markup. H1 tags are used for the page title, H2 tags for main headings within the document and H3 tags for sub headings.

Navigation aids

1. All pages contain a 'skip content and go to navigation' link for speech browser users. Pages have been set up to deliver the pages main content first, ahead of navigation, so that speech browser users access information they want more immediately. The 'skip content' link allows these users to move quickly past page content, if it is not useful to them, and on to navigation links. Windows users press ALT + key 's', Macintosh users press Control + key 's' to jump the speech browser past the main content on a page and to begin reading out the navigational links on that page.
2. All pages include a search box (access key 4). Advanced search options are available by following the link on the search return page.
3. There is a site map which allows quick access to all site pages (access key 3).

Links

1. Where necessary, links have a title attribute which describes the target in greater detail.
2. Links are written to make sense when read out of context.

Images

All content images used in this site include a descriptive ALT attribute. Those images which are purely decorative include a null ALT attribute.

Visual Design

1. This site uses cascading style sheets (CSS) for visual layout.
2. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets or stylesheets are switched off, the content of each page is still readable and the site fully navigable.
3. This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers.
