Skip to content
There is a "skip to content" feature on this site. This allows people using screen readers and those who 'tab' around the screen using a keyboard, to quickly jump to the main content of the page. It literally "skips" over the global navigation menu which appears on the left of every page, thus the user does not have to keep tabbing through the navigation each time.
