• We use Plain English as much as possible, avoided unnecessarily complex language, jargon and acronyms.
• Our aim is that text should be legible and readable with good size and contrast.
• You can use the Ctrl key and the + (plus) key to increase the size of the text, and the Ctrl and the - (minus) key to decrease the size.
• We have tried to make links within text easily identifiable.

Screen Readers

• For screen reader software, we have avoided words for links such as ‘click here’ or ‘more’. Instead, the text of the link describes the destination.

• Your browser will support simple keyboard access on this website. For instance, you can use the Tab key to cycle between selectable things, and the Enter key to select them.
