Accessibility

We want our website to be accessible and easy to use for everyone.

Resizing the text

If you want to, you should be able to resize almost all of the text using your browser controls (a few bits of the text are actually graphic images and therefore have a fixed size).

To find out how to simplify your text please click here. This will remove our styling from the pages and lay the information out in the simplest possible way.

(Note: if you have chosen to disable javascript or cookies the link will have no effect - however you can get similar results by changing the display options using your browser controls - see below).
