We have constructed this site to conform to the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act as closely as possible.

Some of the documents on this website are published in pdf format. These require a suitable reader such as the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, which may be downloaded here

If you use assistive technology (such as a Braille reader, a screen reader, TTY, etc.) and the format of material on our server impairs your ability to access the information, please contact us

To make the site as user-friendly to all as we can, we have incorporated a number of features that will make it easier for you to find your way around and to view our content:

• Consistent and meaningful page titles.
• Consistent presentation - The site is built from a number of templates, offering consistency as you use the site.
• All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.
• Wherever possible we will provide documents in an HTML format for viewing online with web browsers or using assistive technologies such as screen readers.
• Cascading style sheets for visual layout. This gives benefits in terms of accessibility, although the different ways in which web browsers interpret style sheets may lead to some small formatting errors. Even if your browser does not support stylesheets at all, the contents of each page should still readable.
• This site uses only relative font sizes, which means you can to alter the font sizes to suit your preference.
