Navigating by keyboard
For those navigating the site using a keyboard or keypad device, there is a consistent tab order through each page:
- The search function
- Go to the home page
- The main menu items.
At the end of each of those groups of links, a link back to the top of the page is available for those using screen readers and other aids.
Keyboard or keypad users can also bypass the tab order to directly access sections of the site by using access keys.
Access Keys
These allow keyboard users to move directly to a link on the page. Press Alt-Accesskey, then Enter to access the areas of the site shown in the following list. (This function is not supported in all browsers).
