How to get the most accessible experience from this website

Our website can be viewed on a range of different screen sizes and the size of text can be changed to suit different people. We have also included a search facility, site map and useful links page to help people find information more easily.

Most images on this site are accompanied by a brief alt-text tag that identifies the image or its function. If you are using a graphic browser, alt-text tags are visible only if the browser's automatic image-loading feature is turned off.

Every effort is made to ensure that all hyperlinks to external websites and documentation open in a new window to aid navigation and avoid confusion.
