Accessibility toolbar

We have included an accessibility toolbar on the website. The toolbar, of itself, does not make the site accessible. It’s purpose is to enable you to alter various aspects of the display of our webpages so that they suit you better. For example, you can use it to make text bigger or smaller, change the colour scheme, hide images, or highlight specific parts of our webpages.

Using your browser to change how pages are displayed

You can also use your browser’s in built accessibility functions to change how our webpages are delivered.

For example, you can change the magnification of a page using your browser’s settings by following these steps:

in Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera and Firefox, you can zoom the text size in and out by holding the Ctrl key down and pressing + or – . You can also zoom by holding the Ctrl key down and moving the mouse wheel.
In Safari, you can zoom the text size in and out by pressing Command + and Command –

Many browsers or devices also allow you to set your own preferred font or will read out webpages for you. Please refer to the guidance supplied with your browser or device to find out more about that.
