We are still in the process of improving the accessibility options that are available on our website, and hope to be able to offer more features soon.
Access Keys
Many web browsers support the use of access keys, which allow you to jump to specific pages of a website from any page by using a combination of key presses.
To use the access keys hold down the alt key and press the access key at the same time, for example alt+1, then hit return.

Customising your computer
AbilityNet and the BBC have developed a number of tutorials which tell you how to customise your computer to give you a better experience when using the web. For example, you can find out how to:
-
change how information is shown on your screen, to get more on, or to see content more clearly
-
change colours and fonts, a good idea if you have a visual impairment and need more contrast
-
adapt the mouse, for example, to slow it down, make the pointer bigger, or if you’re left-handed
-
change a variety of keyboard settings, including the rate at which the cursor blinks
Go to AbilityNet| for more information, or My Web My Way|to see the tutorials.
