Access Keys

'Access keys' are a way of navigating to important pages, or to other parts of the page you are reading, by using a keyboard instead of a mouse.

Our site uses the UK Government's recommendations for access keys. The following keys are available on every page:

  • 0 (zero) - Accessibility information (this page)
  • 1 - Home page
  • 3 - Site map
  • 9 - Feedback form

If your browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 or above, press the 'ALT' key and the access key at the same time, and then press 'Return'. For example, to jump to the WTG home page, press 'ALT + 1', and then press 'Return'.

If you are using Firefox or Netscape, simply press the 'ALT' key and the access key at the same time. For example, to jump to the WTG home page, simply press 'ALT + 1'.

Text size

Some people may wish to view this website in larger text size via your browsers interface. This website has been built with this in mind and allows text scaling.

Text Only BETSIE

We use BETSIE to deliver a text-only version of every page in our website alongside the graphical pages. You can find a link to the text-only version in the footer links of every page.

BETSIE is a computer programme, so the graphical pages and text-only pages can never get out of synch with each other.

We've chosen to use BETSIE for the benefit of readers who find text-only helpful. We're confident that the graphical version is still fully accessible. Please tell us if you do have any problems with it.

RSS Feed

An RSS Feed is available for WTG Dispatches. Using RSS 2.0, a dialect of XML we deliver live feeds to you, styled using XSL.
