Access Keys

Access keys can be used throughout our site and are intended to help users who have difficulty in using pointing devices such as a mouse, or who prefer to use keyboard shortcuts.

There are no agreed standards for the use of access keys, but we have followed the UK Government guidelines as much as possible.

Access keys can be implemented by using the following methods, which are different depending on the operating system you are using:

  • On Windows machines press ALT + the specific access key, then press ENTER
  • On Macintosh machines press CTRL + the specific access key, then press ENTER


The access keys are as follows:
