Accessibility information

Access keys for the OFTEC web siteAccess keys for the OFTEC website We have made a commitment to try to make the OFTEC website accessible to all, not just the able-bodied but to partially sighted, blind and physically disabled visitors. Most of the work we have done will be unseen by the able bodied but if you are using a screen reader the contents of this site will be available in an accessible manner. If you have physical disabilities the access keys and tab functions will help you to browse the main pages if you are using a modern browser.

Access keys have been included to assist users with disabilities when navigating their way through the web site. Essentially keyboard shortcuts, access keys provide quick and easy access to common pages without the need for a mouse.

Text can be re-sized by the viewer to make the type easier to read. (This will affect the layout of the web page at very large sizes.)

Increasing text size

Some users might find screen text easier to read by increasing the size at which text is displayed. To do this you should simply adjust your browser's settings.
