Accessibility - reaching a wider audience

We want our website to be accessible to as many people as possible. So we've developed our site in accordance with the UK government website guidelines. The following features improve navigation for screen reader users, keyboard navigation and users of text-only browsers.

Access Keys

Access keys can be used to navigate all the content on our site, without having to use your mouse. Our website uses the UK government access keys. That means, if you are using:

  • Internet Explorer on Windows, you can press ALT + an access key;
  • Macintosh, you can press Control + an access key. Then press Enter to activate the link.
  • Firefox and other Mozilla-based browsers, you can press ALT and the relevant access key.

The following keys are available throughout our website:

1 - Home
2 - Programme
3 - Register
4 - Venue
5 - Network
6 - Have your Say
7 - FAQs
8 - Registration Progress
9 - Help Line

Browsers

Most browsers have the capacity to change font colour, turn off images and stylesheets, and increase magnification.  For further details about your browser's built-in accessibility features, visit the websites of the browser companies.

Font sizes

You can increase the size of the text on this site by adjusting your browser's settings. If you use:

  • Firefox, go to the View menu, select Text Size and then choose Increase.  Alternatively, you can use the keyboard by pressing CRTL and + at the same time.
  • Apple Safari, go to the View menu, select 'Make text bigger'.  Alternatively, you can use the keyboard by pressing Command and + at the same time.
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to the View menu, select Text Size and then choose Larger or Largest.

External links

All external links on this website open in a new browser window.

Images

All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics have empty ALT attributes.

Style sheets

This site uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for visual layout. If your browser does not support style sheets, the use of structured semantic mark-up ensures that the content of each page is still readable and clearly structured.

Tables

We have avoided using tables for layout on this site except where absolutely necessary.
