Stylesheets
We have included an alternative magnified stylesheet entitled Larger font version for those who are sight impaired. Return to the default style at any time by clicking the Default version link at the bottom of every page. You may also completely disengage the stylesheet for minimal browsing. Again, use the links in the page footer to reinstate a style.

Structured and semantic markup
HTML heading tags are used to convey document structure. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags for subtitles etc.
Navigation menus are marked up as HTML lists ensuring that the number of links in the list is read out at the start and it can be skipped easily
Images
All non-decorative images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes.
Font size
This site uses relative font sizes. This means that most text can be enlarged to the users needs in most browsers. If you have a "mouse wheel", try holding down the Ctrl key and rolling it back and forth.
