Colour-Blind Users
We have checked the site font and background colour combinations for the different colour blindness conditions and ensured that items are not referenced by colour alone.
Should you wish to change the colour of text and background by introducing your own style sheet, please follow the instructions in changing the style sheet below.
Deaf Users
We do not use any audio on the website; however the videos uploaded on the site contain audio content.
Changing the Stylesheet
Users may import their own style sheet into the website. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, then Internet Options and then Accessibility. Next click on any or all of three checkboxes to ignore colours, font styles or font sizes. In the same window, you can change the style sheet by clicking the checkbox that says 'Format document using my style sheet', then simply browse to your preferred style sheet and click ok. In Netscape, select Edit, then Preferences and then Appearance. You will then be given a choice of colours and fonts.
