Accessibility features on the website
Here are some of the features we have built into the website to help you navigate and some of the ways you can change your browser screen to get a clearer view of the site:
Images
Alt text is provided for images where the detail of the image is not provided in the page or if the image enhances the understanding of the text.
Video
Where possible we have included a text transcript of video clipson the website. Videos embedded in the site from YouTube have closed captioning.
Audio
Where possible we have included a text transcript of audio clips on the website.
Forms
We aim to make all forms accessible. Field names on each form are explicitly associated with their text boxes, radio buttons and check boxes.
Links
Most links will open in your existing browser tab, enabling you to use your browser back button to navigate.
Links to third party websites will open in a new tab or popup window.
Some browsers, for example JAWS, Lynx and Opera can extract a list of links on a page and let you browse the list separately. We have written links to make sense out of context.
