Using the Search facility

To use the SITE SEARCH facility go to the top right hand corner of the page, enter a key word in the space provided for the subject you wish to view (e.g. training) and all the documents relating to that word will be displayed. Then simply click on the document that interests you and you will be linked directly to that page.

If you get stuck or find that the links aren't working correctly contact Diane on 0191 483 3888 for help or email FOCAST.

How to send an email to FOCAST
