Accessibility
The site is designed using CSS and with reference to accessibiltiy standards. As there are varying views on whether ' access key' navigation is useful, we've started to reduce our use (at Feb 08) of this feature. Where this exists, in Internet Explorer, press 'Alt' and the key to select, then Enter to activate the navigation link.
