Making changes to the way you view this site
We have designed our site to make it possible for you to change
its appearance.
This may be useful for you if you have low vision, and need
larger fonts or high contrast colours. You can change the font
size, style and colour, and choose an alternative colour for links.
You can also change background and foreground colours.
Making changes using a Internet Explorer on a PC
At the top of each page of our site are plus and minus symbols.
Clicking on these is a quick way to control the size of the text on
the page.
You can also make changes to your web browser directly.
If using Internet Explorer on a PC, select the View menu at the
top of your window. To change font size, scroll down and select the
Text size option.
To ignore font and background colours choose the Internet
options from the Tools menu at the top of the window.
Click the Accessibility button at the bottom of the screen. This
takes you to a menu where you can choose to ignore the way the page
is formatted.
Then return to the Internet options menu, and use the Colours
and Fonts buttons to set your preferences.
Making changes using a Internet Explorer on an Apple Mac
Again, the plus and minus symbols at the top of each page will
help you to control the font size.
To make changes to your browser settings, select Preferences
