Website Accessibility
How can I make the pages easier to access and view?
In most browsers there are options that can be set to
improve accessibility. In Internet Explorer select Tools from the
menu at the top of the screen, and then select Internet Options.
Click the Accessibility button and there will be a number of
options you can turn on or off. For example, you can override the
size settings of a web page so that you can choose the size
you require.
The size of the text can be increased in most browsers as well.
In Internet Explorer select View from the menu and then Text size.
Try different sizes until you find the one that matches your
individual requirements (the formatting of some pages may be
slightly disrupted by using very large text settings).
Adobe Acrobat PDF documents
Many documents and reports within the site are
published in PDF (Portable Document Format), and occasionally
in Microsoft Word format too.
Viewers with visual difficulties may find it
useful to investigate services that improve the accessibility of
Acrobat documents at http://www.adobe.com/accessibility/.
Readspeaker
The
Readspeaker (external link) speech system is
used on our website to enable visitors to hear the content of
pages. At the bottom of each page, there is a 'Listen' link which
will open Readspeaker. The web page can then be listened
to in whole or part by using different controls to
activate the Readspeaker speech.
