Access Keys

At the moment we employ the UK government access key standard but we’re currently rethinking that approach.

Most browsers support jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the web site and this can be a very useful feature for many users. However, access keys often conflict with keyboard shortcuts defined by the browser or operating system so at the moment there is a debate about whether they actually cause more problems than they solve.  

There are Access Keys (keyboard shortcuts) available on this site.

Windows, press ALT + AccessKey then ENTER

Macintosh, press Control + AccessKey.
