This website has been designed with accessibility uppermost in mind. As the site is large in size - and will be expanding in the future, it does, however make use of a javascript menu system for ease of navigation.

For those users who are unable to use javascript (a message will have already appeared on the top of your screen if this is the case), a separate HTML-only Site Map has been made available.

This can be accessed from every page - the link can be found at the top of each page. In addition, the sitemap can be accessed by means of a keyboard shortcut; to use this method simply click  alt + 1  (and possibly then 'enter' depending on which browser you use to view web pages).

Accessibility information can be found by clicking alt + 2 from any page.

Unfortunately, our site search facility is only available with java-enabled browsers.
