This accessibility statement applies to www.sussexpartnership.nhs.uk.
This website is run by Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and we want as many people as possible to be able to use it. That means you should be able to:
- Change colours, contrast levels and fonts
- Zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
- Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- Navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
- Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
We've also made the website text as simple as possible to understand, and you can navigate most of the website using just a keyboard.
AbilityNet has advice on making your phone, computer or tablet easier to use, depending on your needs.
The accessibility toolbar is located at the bottom of every page. It's labelled "Show accessibility tools" and you can click on it to view our accessibility options. You can then click on "Hide accessibility tools" to hide them again.
The accessible options include:
- Text size
- Contrast
- Google Translate (we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the translation)
A further option is the ReciteMe toolbar, on the bottom left of the accessibility toolbar.
We are committed to making this website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This website has been tested for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1 level AA) compliance in October 2022.
Images on our website have alternative text attributes (alt text). This means when an image is used on a webpage to convey information its content is also described in the alt text, so the image can be understood by text browsers and screen readers.
If an image is used for simply decorative purposes, the text attribute for the image is left empty (no alt text is added) in line with accepted best practice.
If you need information on this website in a different format like an accessible PDF, large print, easy read, audio recording or Braille, please email communications
We’re always looking to improve the accessibility of this website. If you have any issues accessing this site, or think we’re not meeting accessibility requirements, please email communications
