Changing the font size

Almost all text on the site is relative: that is, text size is displayed in sizes which are a percentage of you browser's default setting. You can make the font sizes bigger or smaller by using the font size commands on your Web browser.

Printing pages

Most pages have been designed to make printing easy, by using the print icon at the top left hand corner of this page or by using the printing commands on your web browser. Some information in the site (such as lengthy documents, or items where some degree of printing control is required) is provided in PDF format, which requires your computer to have Acrobat Reader installed. This is available free from Adobe.

Icons, symbols and images used on the site

All icons and other graphics files used on this site should have alternative text tags. The use of icons and decorative images has been kept to a minimum to maximise download speed and accessibility to sight impaired users.
