• Change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser functionality
• Zoom in up to 400 per cent without the text spilling off the screen
• Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
• Navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
• Interact with most of the website using a screen reader

If you have a disability, search AbilityNet for “how to” guides to make your device easier to use.
