Screen Readers

This site is designed to appear in a screen reader more or less the same as it does in a visual browser. The page appears in this order:

  • The page title in this format: Site Title-Section Title-Page Title
  • Links to the Ministries and Offices and the Services of the Ministry of Social Development.
  • Site Tools (home, links, sitemap,search etc).
  • Main site-wide navigation
  • Page content
  • Page footer (copyright etc).
  • Secondary navigation (In This Section) to related pages.

Following the page title, a link is available for those using a screen reader to jump directly to the main content of each page.

At the end of each page, a link is available to take you back to the navigation at the beginning of the page.
