Accessibility statement for Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust

This accessibility statement applies to www.fhft.nhs.uk

This website is run by Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, 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.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Reporting accessibility problems with this website

We’re always looking to improve the accessibility of this website. If you find any problems not listed on this page or think we’re not meeting accessibility requirements, contact: fhft.communications@nhs.net

Enforcement procedure

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 ‘accessibility regulations’). If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).

Contacting us by phone or visiting us in person

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Compliance status

This website is fully compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard.

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

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. By September 2020, we plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages.

The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services. For example, we do not plan to fix our Annual Reports or Standing Financial Instructions documents.

Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.

Our Google maps and Twitter Timeline are both third-party content which is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.

 

Disproportionate burden

Navigation and accessing information

Some tables do not have row headers when needed, so cannot be navigated using the headers. 

We’ve assessed the cost of fixing these navigation issues and believe that doing so now, having upgraded our website platform in 2019, would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. We will make another assessment when we next look to upgrade our website platform.
