Translation & Accessibility

This website has various accessibility features to help you use the site.  An accessible website doesn't exclude anyone because they have a visual impairment or another disability, or because they are older, or because they have a slow internet connection or lack the latest software.

It means that everyone can understand it, navigate around it, contribute to it and use its interactive services.

Changing the size of the text

Some readers prefer the text at a larger size than on the standard web page - especially older people or those with a visual impairment.  You can change the text size of this website to suit your needs.  If you are looking at it on a computer you can use keyboard shortcuts, like pressing the 'Ctrl' key and + key together, or by choosing 'text size' from the 'View' option in the tool bar.  Different computers and different browsers may display these option differently.
