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

This website is run by Liverpool University Hospitals 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.

Located at the bottom of every page is our accessibility toolbar, labelled 'Show accessibility tools' which toggles to ‘Hide accessibility tools’ to stop it from being visible. 

Click on the toolbar to view various accessible options, including:

  • Text size
  • Contrast
  • Google translate (we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the translation).

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@liverpoolft.nhs.uk. 

We are always looking to improve the accessibility of this website.

If you find any problems or think we are not meeting accessibility requirements, please email: communications@liverpoolft.nhs.uk, where your email will be picked up and responded to by the Communications Department.

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’).
