How we support universal accessibility
There are a number of ways in which we aim to support universal accessibility:

• Uniform design throughout the Site.
• Use of cascading style sheets (CSS2) for visual layout.
• If your browser or browsing device does not support style sheets, the content of each page should nevertheless be readable.
• Use of relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified text-size option in visual browsers.
• All images have appropriate alternative text descriptions.
• If you use text-only or audio browsers you can skip over the main page navigation buttons (rather than having to tab through them manually at the start of every page) and jump immediately down to the main page content.
• Avoiding the use of frames
• Links are written in such a way that you can predict where a link is likely to take you.
• All links open in the same browser window unless otherwise specified. (External links and PDF documents will always open in a new window.)
• Whenever Word and PDF files () are provided on a page (usually for large, complex documents) their file size is indicated, together with help and advice on how to read them.
