Accessibility

This page describes the steps we have taken to make this website accessible to all of our visitors. We are committed to producing websites and online resources that can be accessed by everybody. Our website conforms to the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

ROKTalk

Our website uses ROKTalk text-to-speech technology, which means you can have the content read to you. Click on the "Show Toolbar" button on the top right of every page to access this service.  You can get more help from the ROKTalk website.

JAWS Screen Reader Settings

For users of JAWS we recommend the following sort order: title | text | alt | href as the best combination to set.

PDF documents

From the Adobe website you can download the free Acrobat Reader for reading PDF documents and find other accessibility resources.

Link icons

Some hyperlinks on our website have associated icons which give you more information:

• External links to other websites open in a new window
• Email addresses will open up a new message in your email program
• Documents which can be downloaded will open in a new window:
  Microsoft Word documents
  PDF documents
  Microsoft PowerPoint presentations

Links which have no icon will open pages from our website within the current window.

Multilingual support

Some pages in our website contain text written in Arabic, Bengali, Cyrillic, Hindi, Traditional Chinese and Urdu scripts. Without proper multilingual support, you may see question marks, boxes or other symbols instead of the correct characters.
