The Breadcrumb Trail
We use a navigational aid on all of our web pages known as a breadcrumb trail. The breadcrumb trail is a set of clickable links which enables web users to trace their placement within the website. It also tells users who join the website from a search engine, whereabouts they are within the website structure. As a user moves through the website, a link is added to the Breadcrumb Trail at each level. The Breadcurmb Trail is located at the top of every page and looks something like this:
Home > Health and Social Care > Disabilities > Learning Disabilities
