How to use the site
The Eke-Out Project website has been designed to make it accessible and easy to navigate. This section has information about accessibility , as well as legal and copyright information.
Here are some general tips about finding your way around:
- The Site Map is a picture of the site pages and how they link together. This will give you an overview of what the site has to offer. It can also help you to find your way if you get lost.
- Quick Link Buttons are large clear clickable buttons which display on the left margin of every web page. There is a button for every key page on the site. Clicking on a button will take you straight to that page.
- Access Keys are keyboard shortcuts to the items on the menu. These are available for all the main menu buttons as follows:
- o — Home page
- u — Using the site (this page)
- p — The Project
- n — The Network
- d — The Database
- i — Publications
- l — Links
- m — Members’ Area
- c — Contact details
In addition, the Alt+s combination will take you directly to the start of the main text on any page. - Embedded Links are highlighted words or phrases in the body text of the pages which, when clicked with your mouse button, link you straight to the correct page containing further detail about the topic described, or to a page on an external website.
- Community Languages: The Eke-Out Project works to help children, young people and families by supporting the voluntary organisations working directly with or for them rather than with children, young people and families themselves. We do not therefore produce our literature, publications or website text in community languages as our understanding is that workers in this sector will not, for themselves, need material in a community language. The Project will keep this policy under review.
- PDF documents: Many of the documents available on the website are in pdf (Portable Document Format) files. To view these, you will need the freely-downloadable Adobe Reader (or an equivalent pdf viewer). We can, on request, make these documents available on a CD Rom.
