Accessibility features
This site has been developed to ensure content is available to the widest possible audience, including readers using assistive technology or accessibility features. The Accessibility Block includes various features to make the site more accessible:
There are 8 buttons on the block that allow you to easily change the size and/or colour of the site and text within the site.
-
Clicking will decrease the text size.
-
Clicking will increase the text size.
-
Clicking will reset the text size. If you had a saved setting for the text size, this will be cleared.
The final button on the top row saves styles changed by the
block. Once you have altered the text size or colour scheme, the
button will become active, shown by the blue arrow. When it's
active, click to
save settings. Once saved, they will persist between pages even
when you log out.
The bottom row contains 4 buttons, each displaying a different
colour scheme. Clicking any of these buttons will
apply that colour scheme to the page. Clicking the button on the
far left will reset the scheme to default and clear any saved
colour settings.
ATbar
At the bottom of the block, you'll see a button
labelled Launch ATbar and a checkbox
labelled (always?)
Clicking the button will launch ATbar and hide the native
controls. ATbar has several advanced Accessibility functions on
top of the ability to change page styles, including
Text-To-Speech and Dictionary lookup. Note that if you change
styles with ATbar, they will not persist between
pages as they do with the native functions, nor are you currently
able to save them. Ticking the checkbox will cause ATbar to be
automatically loaded each time you visit a page containing the
Accessibility block. You can find out more about ATbar's
functions by clicking the icon
on the right of the bar itself.
