Ability to skip links

(Start of section)

If you are using screen-reading software, you may wish to skip past certain links (for example, navigation links) once you become familiar with the sections of the website. Options have been built in to each page to enable you to skip past links directly to page content or to input forms.

To skip directly to the content, the "Skip to content" link at the top of each page or the "S" access key can be used. The "I" access key can be used to skip directly to input forms on a page.
