Accessibility Statement
Access All Finance recognises the importance of providing a Website that is accessible to all user groups in order to ensure that no one is excluded from the opportunity to benefit from the products we sell and information we provide.
We have implemented a range of accessibility features on this website to make it easier to use. These features, along with the accessibility features in your browser, should make the experience of visiting this site equal to all.
Accessibility features on this website
The following features improve navigation for screen reader users, keyboard navigation and users of text-only browsers
Navigation shortcuts?
At the start of every page is a "skip to content" link that allows you to jump directly to the main content of the page.
Sighted users who use the keyboard to navigate will see these links appear on screen when using the Tab key to navigate through the page.
Access keys?
Access keys are keyboard shortcuts that replace the need to use the mouse for navigation in browsers that support them. In Internet Explorer on Windows, you can press ALT + an access key; on Macintosh, you can press Control + an access key. Then press Enter to activate the link.
Listed below is the recommended UK Government accesskeys standard available throughout the website:
These access keys have been chosen to follow the UK Government website guidelines where applicable, in order to support the adoption of a useful standard. Wherever possible, they also avoid conflicting with commonly-used screen reader keyboard shortcuts.

- Navigation menus are marked up as HTML lists. This ensures that the number of links in the list is read out at the start and it can be skipped easily.
