Access keys

This site uses access keys for those who have difficulty using a mouse. To use access keys simply press and hold down the Alt key; then press the number or letter corresponding to the page you want to visit; then press the return (enter) key – this last stage may not be required with some browsers. Macintosh users will need to press Ctrl+[accesskey]. Please note that some web browsers do not recognise keyboard shortcut keys.

As far as possible we have adopted the UK Government recommended standard keystrokes:

0 -	menu of access keys (this page)
1 -	home page
9 -	feedback/contact form
