Camden LINk is committed to making its online resources accessible to all visitors. We continually review our site and modify pages to remove accessibility problems for disabled people and to make information more accessible for all users. We aim to use a written style which is straightforward and understandable.

Access for all

We've provided a number of features to allow you to tailor this website to your personal preferences:

• Text size - please see the very top of each page for ways of changing the text size used on the site;
• Differing contrast styles - we provide a number of site colour schemes to improve the site for users with certain visual impariments. Please see the top of each page for ways of changing of this websites colour combinations;
• Talklets text reading tool - At the top right of each page is a button entitled listen. This will turn on the Talklets text reading tool which will read out the text or each page, or selected text. This tool is useful for people who are dyslexsic or who have English as a second language. Important Usage note: Please try to avoid using the Text Zoom buttons on the Talklets toobar. These do not work well in conjunction with the website's own text zoom buttons at the top of each page.
• Structure - every page on the site is structured using HTML headings to ensure the best possible experience for all users.
