Navigation of our site: How to find your way
around
The site has been designed to make it easy to find your way about.
On the left of each page there are links directing you to information. Once
past the home page, all our pages have the same toolbar on the left.
Clicking on the "Home"
link at the top of any page will always take you back to the main home page
of our website, which contains links to all the sections of our website.
Bookmarks and links on the left
navigation bar
On every page in our site, you will see a left navigational bar. All of
the links will take you to other pages within our site.

Back to Top
Where ever you see this link 'back to top' or a similar link, this means
that by clicking on it, you will be returned to the top of the same page,
and be able to select a different link from the left navigation bar. This
way, you are able to move around a longer HTML page quickly without ever
leaving the page, flicking from bookmark to bookmark.
We are committed to making this site accessible to all visitors using any
browser. The pages are designed to comply with global
standards set by the World Wide Web Consortium (http://www.w3c.org),

ensure that our pages are accessible to visually impaired visitors using
special access software, and the widest number of browsers possible.
If you experience any difficulty in viewing any of the pages or accessing
any of the information, please let us know - email avon_pension@bathnes.gov.uk
