PDF documents

PDF documents are used to publish information throughout this site. They enable documents created on different types of computers and using different software to be viewed by anyone regardless of the type of computer used. 

 

They are generally smaller than the files from which they were created and they look exactly as they were designed by the creator, complete with the original layouts, fonts, and graphics.

 

If you cannot view pdf documents please download the free PDF Viewer.

 

Other Documents - Word, Excel, Powerpoint

We try to avoid using Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents, however sometimes it is useful to download a document (such as an application form) to complete on your computer.

 

If you do not have Microsoft Office, you can download Microsoft's free viewers to read and print their documents.
