Text Only Pages - BETSIE

Our web site provides visitors the opportunity to use BETSIE, the BBC's accessibility tool, for providing text only pages. On each page visitors will find a link in the top left hand corner of the page, reading 'Text Only' which will translate the page to a text only version. Once viewing pages in the text only mode visitors can continue to view pages and move around the web site in this mode. Visitors can also customise the font sizes and colours they wish to use whilst using the BETSIE system. Look for the options link at the foot of any text only page.
