  • Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • Navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS,NDVA and VoiceOver).                                                              Access AbilityNet to find advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability
