Accessibility Help – Change the way this website looks – Using tools on your computer

You can control the look and functionality of this website, depending on your computer settings. Most computers will have accessibility settings you can change including the way the screen looks (e.g., changing’ fonts, sizes, colours, etc.), the way the keyboard or mouse works and possibly speaking and listening to commands as well as a range of other features.

As several organisations have already produced lots of good content about how to make computers and websites more accessible, links have been made to these sites rather than duplicating their contents.

For advice on changing settings check out My Web My Way produced by the BBC. It has lots of useful information and a wealth of accessibility links.

As well as My Web My Way above there is the Government website which contains information regarding accessibility software.

Your browser will usually have controls which you can use to enlarge the text on your screen.
