I have made a change to the site this morning to implement additional security called secure sockets layer (SSL).

Using SSL you can ensure you are always interfacing to the ABW site and it means that traffic from your computer to the site is encrypted.

You may notice the address bar has changed to include a padlock or the word secure (depending on your browser). For example, In Chrome we went from:



to:



I would recommend you close any open browser windows for the ABW site and open a new one. You will then see the site name begins with https rather than http.

If you have any issues, please let me know here.

This is how the address bar looks in Firefox (version 45)

This is how the address bar looks on a mobile device. Safari shows a padlock in the address bar:
