Access Keys

The following features improve navigation for screen reader users, keyboard navigation and users of text-only browsers.

Access keys are keyboard shortcuts that replace the need to use the mouse for navigation, in browsers that support them.

The following access keys are available throughout this website:

0 - Accessibility Statement (this page)
s - skip the navigation - go straight to the page content
1 - Home
9 - Contact Us
c - Contact Us
a - About Us

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.
