Accessibility

 

This website has been designed to be easy to use and we hope you find that it is. If you are having difficulties, however, there are several things you can do, including using access keys and changing the size of the text. These are described on this page.

If you have any comments on accessibility please contact us and we will do our best to help or make further improvements to this site where we can.

 

1. Access keys

Access keys are keyboard shortcuts which allow the user to navigate without having to use a mouse. The access keys defined for this website allow you to jump to each of the main menu options shown in the blue bar at the top of the screen. These are:

  1. Home
  2. UK National Screening Committee
  3. Screening Information
  4. Programmes
  5. Policies
  6. Help

How you use access keys depends on the operating system and browser you have on your computer.

  • Windows – press ALT + Access Key then ENTER
  • Macintosh – press Control + Access Key
  • Firefox – press SHIFT + ALT + Access Key

You can move between links on a particular page using the TAB key to move forward one link and SHIFT + TAB to move back a link. When you have found the link you want, press ENTER on your keyboard.

You can also use the 'Page Up' and 'Page Down' keys on your keyboard to scroll up or down on a long page.

 

2. Changing text size

If you find the text on this site is too small or too large, you can easily change it. You can do this using the text size buttons at the top right of each page or alternativly you can adjust your browser's default settings.

If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to the View menu, select Text Size and then Larger/Largest or Smaller/Smallest.

If you use Mozilla Firefox, go to the View menu, select Text Size and choose Increase or Decrease.
