This accessibility statement applies to the Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust website.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. 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
  • navigate most of the website using 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.

Languages

We have made this website available in a number of languages as part of our commitment to Equality and Diversity and in support of the wide and diverse community that we serve. You can choose your language at the top of the website.

How accessible this website is

We know from several accessibility reports that parts of this website are not fully accessible.

PDFs

Many of our PDFs are not fully accessible to screen reader software. Some of these PDFs are required to access a service. Examples include:

  • Trust Board meeting papers
  • some of our annual reporting documents
  • certification and licence documents

If you're having problems accessing these please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Other parts of the website that are not fully accessible

These include:

  • links to websites or software that we do not own or manage and so cannot guarantee their accessibility
  • some of our older videos do not meet accessibility standards because they do not have captions. The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix videos published before 23 September 2020. We are actively working to add captions to the most popular older videos.
  • links to external forms such as InPhase

We are actively working to address these issues as part of an ongoing programme to improve the accessibility of this website.
