All pages on this site define the following access keys using similar shortcuts as the UK Government accesskeys standard:

• Access key 1 – Home page
• Access key 2 – News/Blog
• Access key 3 – Site map

Access keys are not perfect (as detailed here – ‘Using Accesskeys – Is it worth it?’ ) so if they give you any problems please let us know.

Skip Navigation

On each page a ‘skip to main content’ link allows direct access past the navigation links to the page’s main content, which should make navigation easier if you are using the keyboard or other input device to browse.
