Links to other websites

This website may contain links to other Internet websites. Those websites are not owned, operated, controlled or reviewed by NSP - and may not be fully compliant with our Accessibility Policy.

Alternative text

Images on this website have alternative text attributes, often known as alt text. This means when an image is used to convey information its content is also described in the alt text. When you use alt text, the image can be understood by text browsers and assistive technologies such as screen readers. If an image is used for simply decorative purposes, the text attribute for the image is left empty in line with accepted best practice.

Readable and resizable fonts and layout

This website uses font sizes you can control using your web browser. You can also manually change the text size through your web browser.
To change the text size in Microsoft Internet Explorer select View > Text size followed by your preferred text size from Smallest to Largest. The default setting is Medium.
You can change the text size in Mozilla Firefox and other Mozilla-based browsers by selecting View > Text size followed by Increase or Decrease. To return the text size to its default setting, select Normal.
The fonts on this website have been chosen for their legibility on computer screens.

Minimising the use of images

Live text is used rather than graphics wherever possible to reduce page download time and to increase your control over text size.
