Accessibility

This page explains how we have tried to make this website accessible for all users and how we plan to increase accessibility in the future.

Our website conforms to W3CA standards for accessibility.

We have attempted to use plain english throughout the site to increase accessibility.

We are committed to putting people who use our services first. This includes collecting and responding to their views and experiences and ensuring that they can access the information they need to make informed choices about their care.

We want to make sure that everyone is able to obtain the information we provide and is able to communicate with us in ways that meet their individual needs. Our accessible communications policy sets out how we are achieving these aims.
