Website accessibility
We believe that our online information and services should be accessible to all users. Our website includes a number of accessibility features to allow people with disabilities to access the information and services they desire.
Changing text size
You can resize the text on this website. To do this:
- Select 'View' on your toolbar
- Then select 'Text Size' from the menu

Alternative attributes
The images in our site use alternative or 'alt' attributes which are alternative text descriptions for the image.
Links
Our site contains links to other websites, other pages within the site and PDF documents. We use an appropriate description to highlight these links so a screen reader can be used to read out just links.
Tabbing
