Help with navigation

Homepage

You can return to the homepage from anywhere within the site by clicking the following:
•    our logo at the top right corner of the page,
•    ‘home’ caption at the left end of the top horizontal menu,
•    ‘home’ caption in the breadcrumb trail (top left corner of the page).

Top menu bar

The menu bar across the top of the page will take you to the major sections within our site. For instance, clicking on the 'Advice for…' caption in the menu will bring you into our portal section with information specifically written for Young People, Migrant Workers and Prisoners and their Families and people facing Mortgage Debt and Repossession.

Site content navigation

Navigation within our main content section of the site is done by using the menu panel on the left hand side of the page.

The menu has a flexible structure, which means that a list of articles in any given section will expand when you click on its top level page. Most content pages on the site will be organised in 3 or 4 levels.

When applicable, a section titled 'See also' will be displayed to the right of the content page. Entries in this panel will take you to articles on similar topic, or will offer further downloads or external links. Links to external sites will open in another browser window, while internal links will display within your current window.

Individual articles may have links or downloads embedded within the page text. These items will be bolder than the surrounding text and should display underlining when the mouse pointer hovers over the link.

Breadcrumb trail

Breadcrumb trail is located just below the top left page margin, spreading across the top part of the map image. The breadcrumb trail shows you where you are in the structure of the website. If you click on one of the entries in the crumb trail, you will be taken directly to that part of the web site.

Help with finding content

Every page of the site features a search field below the top horizontal menu. Our search will help you find key information in the site.  You can also use our A-Z index to find the information you require.  The top horizontal menu features a link to the site index.

Help with accessibility

Our website uses relative font sizes. You can resize the text using your browser, or by using the text '+, reset, -' icons at the top of each page. Increasing text size will not disrupt the page layout.

None of our content includes blinking text or images, and nothing on this site will cause your screen to flicker.

My Computer My Way site offers a guide to making your PC accessible. It offers help with seeing the screen, using your keyboard and mouse, and with language and reading.
