Accessibility Policy
CAN strives to make the information it publishes accessible to everyone, including those with limited capability. This limited capability could take the form of physical or mental disabilities, or technological limitations.
As such, this website has been designed to cater for the average user and for those audience members who fall into these two categories. An example of physical disability is a visual impairment, for which we have built the website to work with 'screen reader' browsers.
An example of a technological limitation is a user who has an older computer without a high-speed Internet connection, and to cater for this the website has been designed to work with graphics turned off or without a mouse.
Below you will find specific tips for using this website which may help those with limited capabilities.
If you believe CAN can improve its performance in this area, please contact us.

Tabbing
In addition to Access Keys you can also use the TAB key on your keyboard to jump between links on a page. Use the TAB key to select a link and then press RETURN to follow the link.
If you use a Macintosh computer you must press both the ALT and TAB keys simultaneously in order to jump between links.
Special Browsers
If you use a special browser such as a 'screen reader' or other assistive technology, you may find it handy to skip over the visual navigation and other items at the top of each page.
As such we have placed a link near the very top of each page in this website labelled 'Skip Navigation'. Using this link will take you straight to the content for the page.
