ACT has gone to some lengths to ensure that this website is available to as broad an audience as possible and usable as possible
Text Size
The size of the text on this website is as a size 12 point as default. The text size can be changed to either 12, 14 or 16 point (smaller, medium, larger) using the "a" - 'Change Text Size' function at the top of every page.
The size of text can also be changed using Microsoft Internet Explorer's 'Text Size' option: to increase the size of the text select 'View' -> 'Text Size' -> 'Largest': this increases the size of all the text proportionally. (You can similarly change the text size to make it smaller). The default setting is 'Medium'.
In Mozilla Firefox you should select View > Text size followed by 'Increase' or 'Decrease'. To return the text size to its default setting, select 'Normal'.
Please be aware that changing the base text size whilst browsing this website may impact upon its layout: the site has been designed to 'flow' to fill the browser window (to make use of the extra space available at higher screen resolutions) but increasing text size to a very large value will cause some page elements to overlap.
Use of Images
Images on our website have alternative text attributes (alt text). This means when an image is used on a web page to convey information its content is also described in the alt text.
Therefore, 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.
