LEAD International - Case Studies

Accessibility

We have built the LEAD site to be as accessible as possible for all users.

If you have sight problems you may wish to use the 'Low graphic version' of the site or increase the size of the text displayed.

Links to the 'Low graphic version' of a page can be found at the bottom of every page. While viewing the 'Low graphic version' you can select your own text options. If you wish to switch back to the 'High graphics version' there is a link at the bottom of all the pages.

There are different ways of the size of the text displayed depending on which web browser you are using.

Please note: the menu shortcut keys listed here only work in Windows

Macintosh users can use Command + (plus) to increase the text size in all browsers. Command - (minus) will reduce the text size
