We want our online services to be accessible to everybody. The information here will help you make changes to your computer to make browsing easier.
Using our website
To make our websites easy to view, we're updating and re-designing them using guidelines developed by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) and the RNIB.
We're always looking for ways to make our websites and online services easier to use. Where possible, we follow the guidelines developed by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) and the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB).
Finding your way around
We try to design our websites so it's easy for you to find the information you need. If you get stuck, you'll find, site maps and contacts pages available.
Even fully-sighted people can find reading text on a screen difficult or tiring, so we have chosen an easy-to-see web colour scheme and a clear font type, size and colour.
If you use a screen reader
Not everyone uses a traditional browser, so we've designed our sites to work with screen readers. We use text (in ALT tags) to describe images and also provide descriptions on any tabular based data to work with screen reader software.
Change your Computer Settings
There are lots of changes you can make to your computer to make browsing the internet a better experience. If you want to alter the way you see, hear or use a website, you can change options in your internet browser.
The BBC and AbilityNet have developed a website called My Web My Way. It has comprehensive and up-to-date information on changing your browser settings for Windows, Mac and Linux users.
