Introduction
The Leicestershire County Council Website has various navigations features which
are designed to help you browse effectively.
The breadcrumb navigation is located under the primary navigation. The breadcrumb
navigation tracks the path you follow as you navigate our site. With just one click you can quickly
navigate to any point or level on that path.

The contextual navigation is found on the left side of almost all pages. It serves
two purposes;
- to illustrate where the page is located, in context with other pages,
- to operate as a navigational menu.
To access a page, simply
click on it's name.
Once you have selected the relevant heading from the left hand navigation, it will
automatically be pulled out of the list of services and taken to the top of the navigation.
The heading above your selection is known as the parent page i.e. the main service
area.
Below the parent page is the page you are on, in bold, followed by a drop down to
the next level (if there is one available) displaying all the relevant options below (known as child
pages and denoted by a dash), which can also have further options below them.
Below the child pages you will have a selection of further options relating to the
main service area known as siblings. For example within Help Page (the parent page) you will find Site
Navigation (the page you are on) which will open up to display around 2 further options relating to
it (the child pages) and below these are all the other service areas (the sibling pages).
Pages within the navigation are arranged in the most useful order (the most useful
being at the top). Where the order of usefulness is not obvious, or the list of pages is becoming too
long, they will be listed in alphabetical order.
