Navigating by Keyboard

For those navigating the site using a keyboard or keypad device, there is a consistent tab order through each page.

At the top of the tab order are four links which enable those using aids such as screen readers to move easily around the page.

They appear in the following order immediately after the title of the page

  • links within the main site-wide navigation
  • links within the content of the page
  • links to the copyright and related links at the foot of the page
  • 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).
