People with Sensory and Physical Impairments

The Disability Discrimination Act (1995) gives disabled people important rights of access to everyday services that others take for granted.
We have designed to World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) guidelines, which allow people using special access software and hardware (such as screen readers for visually impaired people) to use the site.
To help you navigate the site, you can also change the text size and colour scheme of the site using the toolbar at the top of each page.
We have included access keys to allow people with limited physical capabilities to use the site more easily (see table below).
