How to use the tag cloud

If you select one of the terms in the tag cloud, it will show you a listing of all pages that include this term. This is a quick way to jump to content by keyword, and allows you to quickly see what the most popular terms are.

Navigation aids

If you are using a screen reader or speaking browser, we have special links ‘skip to content’ inks on every page to help you jump to the main content. These are often called ‘skip links’.

These menus will be read out to you. If you are not using assistive software, you will not see these links.
