If you are not using one of the browsers above you should be able to access the site and use the pages but it might not display the site as designed, nor provide you with the best experience of using the website. Upgrading browsersWe would recommend upgrading your browser as far as your computer allows. Later versions of browsers often have higher levels of security and better functions. Most browser suppliers will allow you to upgrade for free. Visit the browser's website to find out about the latest versions and to download them. Browser downloads are very large; many browsers are also available on CDs such as those distributed by computer magazines. Why doesn't my browser display the website properly?In order to support as wide a range of browsers as possible and allow users of all abilities (including those with a visual impairment or physical disability) to access this website, it has been developed according to recognised standards set down by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). One of these standards is for the use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS2) so that the site supports any browser that in turn supports this standard. Some browsers, particularly earlier versions, either do not or only partially support, this standard. These browsers might not display the text and graphics properly. Screen resolutionsYou can set your computer to display different screen resolutions. The site has been designed to work best in 800 x 600 pixels and 1024 x 768 pixel resolutions. For information on adjusting the display resolution try the help files in your operating system or consult the manufacturer's website. Screen coloursDepending on your computer you can also control the number of colours displayed on your screen. Browser-specific settings:
