The following features improve navigation for screen reader users, keyboard navigation and users of text-only browsers.
Access keys
Access keys are keyboard shortcuts that replace the need to use the mouse for navigation in browsers that support them. In Internet Explorer (limited support) and Firefox on Windows, you can press ALT + an access key; on Macintosh, you can press Control + an access key. Then press Enter to activate the link.
The following access keys are available throughout the website:
- Key
- Shortcut
- 1
- Home
- 2
- About
- 3
- Services
- 4
- Articles
- 5
- Contact
These access keys have been chosen to follow the UK government e-envoy’s guidelines where applicable, in order to support the adoption of a useful standard. Wherever possible, they also avoid conflicting with commonly-used screen reader keyboard shortcuts.
