Accessibility
This website is designed to conform to World Wide Web Consortium accessibility standards, and here is some information about other ways to adapt the website for individual needs.
Customising your computer
AbilityNet and the BBC have developed some 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 are 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
