Accessibility
We are committed to making our health and nutrition services accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities, long-term health conditions, and differing access needs.
We aim to ensure that our website and digital content are accessible and easy to use, in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA, and our duties under the Equality Act 2010.
Our approach to accessibility
As a health and nutrition service, we recognise the importance of clear, inclusive communication. We work to ensure that our information can be understood and accessed by as many people as possible by:
-
Using clear, supportive and non-technical language wherever possible
-
Designing pages with good colour contrast and readable text sizes
-
Making content compatible with screen readers and assistive technologies
-
Ensuring the website can be navigated using a keyboard
-
Structuring content logically with headings, labels and descriptions
