What to do
if you have questions or feedback
Screen reader/voice
browser/screen magnifier users
Navigation mechanisms have been built that are accessible by screen
readers and voice browsers. In addition, skip links have been added
to allow the user to bypass the navigation to the main content and
also go directly to the site tools.
ALT keys have been built to assist the screen reader, voice browser
and screen magnifier users as follows:
- ALT key + M + ENTER key will take the user to the top of the main content panel
- ALT key + S + ENTER key will take the user to the site map
- ALT key + N + ENTER key will take the user back to the main navigation.
Text equivalents of all images have been provided and the relevant page and table header tags inserted.
Alternative mechanisms have been provided where JavaScript is used within the site.
Colour-blind
users
We have checked the site font and background colour combinations
for the different colour-blindness conditions and ensured that
items are not referenced by colour alone.
Should you wish to change the colour of text and background by
introducing your own style sheet, please follow the instructions in
Guidance on how to change the style sheet.
Keyboard-only
users
The web pages on the site have been tested for use in keyboard only
operation. When using the forms or controls for the tools, the keys
to use are as follows:
To select from drop down boxes, use the up and down arrow keys.
- To select/deselect a check box, use the space bar
- To move forward between links, use the TAB key
- To move back between links, use the SHIFT + TAB keys
- To initiate an action button, use the ENTER key when the action button is selected.
Guidance on how to change
the font size
Users can change the font size through the browser. If you are
using Internet Explorer, select ‘View', then ‘Text
Size' and then your preferred size. In Netscape select
‘View', then ‘Text Zoom' and then the size.
Guidance on how to change
your style sheet
Users may import their own style sheet into the website. In

of three checkboxes to ignore colours, font styles or font sizes.
