Guidelines
The design and build of this site has taken into account the following guidelines:
These guidelines include:
- An easy to read font-face
- Controllable text size
- Colour alone is not used to convey meaning
- Providing meaningful text alternatives to images
- Consistent site navigation
- Tooltips for acronyms

Access keys
The main navigation options have been assigned keyboard access keys for users who do not use pointing devices (such as a mouse). The access keys we have used are based on government recommendations and allow the site to be navigated without using a mouse.
