How to use our accessibility features

Using the Keyboard

When you press the Tab key after a page has loaded we provide skip links to the main navigation and content area. Most elements which are clickable are outlined when you access them using the Tab key.

We do not define any access keys as assistive devices already define many key combinations. We want to avoid that access keys interfere with such key combinations.

Explaining Content

We strive to attach descriptions to each image which briefly describe it if you use a screen reader or have turned off images.

When your screen reader comes across content which is visually grouped together, or content which uses icons or other images, we try to insert additional text available to screen readers to explain the content or images.

Interactive Components

Some components of our pages are interactive, for example tabs or content that changes automatically. We attempt to provide you with a pause or stop control for such content to view it in your own time.

Enlarging the page

You can enlarge the page using your browser. On PCs press the 'CTRL' and '+' keys together to zoom into the page, on a Mac press the command key and '+'. Press 'CTRL' (or command key on the Mac) and '–' to zoom out.

Known Barriers

Media content within the communications section requires closed captions and audio transcripts.
