This website is run by your GP surgery. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AbilityNet<\/a> has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The majority of this website is fully accessible. We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you need information on this website in a different format like accessible PDF, large print, easy read, audio recording or braille call us on the number below<\/span> and ask to speak to the Practice Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ll consider your request and get back to you within 7 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you cannot view the map on our \u2018contact us\u2019 page, call us for directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re always looking to improve the accessibility of this website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you find any problems not listed on this page or think we\u2019re not meeting accessibility requirements, contact us by calling the number below or writing to us at the address below and making your request for the attention of the Practice Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the \u2018accessibility regulations\u2019). If you\u2019re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find out how to contact us on our contact details page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your GP surgery is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1<\/a> AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of our PDF and Word documents are not able to comply with the requirements of the web accessibility standard. Where we create new PDFs, we use the PDF\/A standard which is more accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See the Content Management<\/strong> section below for details how we intend to check PDF and other documents to ensure they meet WCAG 2.1 AA Success Criterions; 1.1.1 (Non-text Content), 1.4.1 (Use of Colour), 1.4.3 (Contrast – Minimum), 1.4.5 (Images of Text), 2.4.3 (Focus Order), 2.4.6 (Headings and Labels), 3.2.4 (Consistent Identification). This might exclude documents published before 23 September 2018, where they\u2019re not essential to providing our services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contrast Ratios, throughout the website, should meet WCAG 2.1 AA Success Criterion 1.4.3: Contrast (Minimum), however some widgets, outside Practice editing control, may fail permitted contrast ratios. Our supplier will contact any suppliers where this issue is identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some tables are used to format text however they do not always work well with screen readers. See the Content Management<\/strong> section below for details how we intend to check tables to ensure they meet WCAG 2.1 AA Success Criterion 1.3.1 Info and Relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some images, which contain text, may not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content). See the Content Management<\/strong> section below for details how we intend to check images to ensure they are of an accessible standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It should be noted that practice staff are able to add content to this website using a Content Management system. Whilst every effort is made to add WCAG 2.1 AA complaint content, this might not always be possible due to lack of website accessibility experience. Therefore it is possible some documents may not be accessible, links may be added that are not meaningful, new layout tables may not read properly using a screen reader, and there may be new images added which contain text. Our website is reviewed annually either by practice staff, our supplier, or by a third party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We do not consider any elements to be a disproportionate burden at present as we understand WCAG 2.1 AA. Should any come to light, we will update this section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many of our older PDFs and Word documents do not meet accessibility standards – for example, they may not be structured so they\u2019re accessible to a screen reader. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (name, role value).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how users can access our services, and forms published as Word documents. We plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018<\/a> if they\u2019re not essential to providing our services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We are actively looking to improve the accessibility on our website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The improvements below have been identified on our current work schedule:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This statement was prepared on 23rd October 2019.
