Notts Work Experience Accessibility statement

 

This accessibility statement applies to the Notts Work Experience Hub website (https://workexperience.notts-his.nhs.uk).

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. In order to ensure that all of our visitors can use our website, these pages aim to meet Level-A and Level-AA standards of WCAG 2.2. This means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser functionality
  • zoom in up to 400 per cent without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard or speech recognition software
  • interact with most of the website using a screen reader (including recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver).

We also try to make the website text as simple as possible to understand.

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