We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

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

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1(links to an external site) AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.

• 1.1.1 Non-text Content (Level A) - Images have no alternative text
• 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) (Level A) - Redundant link
• 2.4.9 Link Purpose (Link Only) (Level AAA) - Links witht he same accesssible name do not serve a similar purpose
• 1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose (Level AA) - Autocomplete attribute is not used correctly

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

2.4.9 and 1.3.5 success critration are issues caused by the Content Management System (CMS) we use. The autocomplete issue is caused by the form plugin we use within the CMS. When a form plugin becomes avaiable that provides the features required and conformns with the accessibility guielines we will move our form across. The other issues will be fixed as soon as we can. We will update this page when issues are fixed.

This website was last tested on 26th October 2021. The test was carried out by The Health Informatics Service Web Department. We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines V2.1 level A and level AA to test how accessible chftcharity.co.uk is.

We used this approach to deciding on a sample of pages to test:

• Looked at all mediums used on the site for example text, images, maps, videos, forms etc
• Added at least one page per item to our sample list
• Always include the homepage
• We used Lighthouse (links to an external site) to audit each page in the sample for accessibility issues.
• We used Wave (links to an external site) to test for accessibility issues on pages that do not need users to sign in.
• We used Axe DevTools (links to an external site) to test for accessibility issues on pages that do not need users to sign in.
