Technical information about this website’s accessibility 

Healthcare Central London 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 

The website has been tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) [2.1 or 2.2] AA standard. 

This website is partially compliant with the [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard or Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard], due to [insert one of the following: ‘the non-compliances’, ‘the exemptions’ or ‘the non-compliances and exemptions’] listed below. 

Non-accessible content 

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons. 

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations 

Some images do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content). 

We plan to add text alternatives for all images by October 2024. When we publish new content we’ll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards.  

Some links do not have a text alternative. We plan to add text alternatives for all links by October 2024. 

Some interactive elements do not meet enhanced size. We plan to fix this by October 2024.  

Some headings are not structured. We plan to fix this by October of 2024.  

Some text do not included in an ARIA landmark. We plan to fix this by October of 2024. 

Colour contrast does not meet enhanced or minimum requirement. We plan to fix this by October of 2024. 

Some text becomes clipped when resized. We plan to fix this by October of 2024. 

Some line height is below minimum value. We plan to fix this by October 2024. 

Disproportionate burden 

Navigation and accessing information 

There’s no way to skip the repeated content in the page header (for example, a ‘skip to main content’ option). 

It’s not always possible to change the device orientation from horizontal to vertical without making it more difficult to view the content. 

It’s not possible for users to change text size without some of the content overlapping. 

We’ve assessed the cost of fixing the issues with navigation and accessing information. We believe that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. We will make another assessment when we do a site review in December 2024. 

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

PDFs and other documents 

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.  

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

Live video 

We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
