Accessibility information about the Wakefield District Health and Care Partnership website

This accessibility information applies to http://www.wakefielddistricthcp.co.uk/  This website is run by Wakefield District Health and Care Partnership.

Accessibility regulations mean public sector organisations have a legal duty to make sure websites meet accessibility requirements. We are committed to trying to make this website accessible for all and aim to achieve the recommended government standard for web accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA).

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. As a user with accessible needs, you should be able to:

  • Change contrast levels
  • Modify the font, colours, line height or spacing of text
  • Zoom in up to 200% without text spilling off the screen
  • The text will reflow in a single column when you change the size of your browser window
  • Navigate the website using just a keyboard
  • Translate the website into a different language
  • Listen to the website using a screen reader

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

We also provide assistive technology, enabling all websites visitors to customise their experience through a range of option to suit their online accessibility and language needs.

The Recite Me toolbar provides text to speech functionality, fully customisable styling features, reading aids and a translation tool with over 100 languages, including 35 text to speech voices and many other features.

AbilityNet (links to an external site) has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
