Finding your way around
The basic things to remember:
- Every time you click on a link, you will be taken to another page.
- The links are words in blue and bold (although some may be pictures). They are easy to spot because your cursor will change from a pointer to a hand as it hovers over them.
- You can always find your way back to the Home Page by clicking on the Sussex Police badge in the top left hand corner of every page.
- You can always check where you are by using the list of links
that appears across the top of the page (under the menu bar).
This shows the 'trail' of pages you have visited. For
example:
You are here: Home > Advice and support > Road safety You can get back to any page in the list simply by clicking on its link. - There is also a 'site map' providing an overview of the website sections at the very bottom of every page. You can click on any of those links too.
