Using our website

We recognise the importance of providing a website that is accessible by all users. As such we have made every effort to ensure that our site can be easily used by people with disabilities.
 

Internet Explorer: select Tools, then Internet Options, then Accessibility, next click on any or all 3 checkboxes to ignore colours, font styles or font sizes, in the same window you can change your style sheet by clicking the checkbox that says, 'format document using my style sheet' then browse to your style sheet and click OK.

 

In Netscape; select Edit, then Preferences and then Appearance, you will be given the choice to specify your own colours and fonts.
 

Most data tables have properly scoped header cells, to allow screen readers to render them intelligently.
