Accessibility Statement for Bulkington Surgery

 

This accessibility statement applies to the website and/or domain associated with Bulkington Surgery . Our website is hosted by Wix.com and we work in conjunction with our host to enable as many people as possible to use our website. This means that users should be able to:

 

  • Change colours, contrast levels and fonts

  • Zoom in, by up to 300%, without the text splitting off the screen

  • Navigate most of the website using only the keyboard

  • Navigate most of the website using speech-recognition software

  • Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including but not limited to: JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

 

In addition, we have made our website text as simple as possible to understand. If you need any further advice on making your device easier to use, particularly if you have a disability, click on the following link: AbilityNet

 

The accessibility of our website

 

We are aware that some parts of our website are not fully accessible and unfortunately this cannot be rectified. The issues on some areas are:

  • You are unable to modify the line height or the spacing of text

  • Older versions of PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen-reader software

  • Live video streams do not have captions

  • Some (not all) online forms may prove difficult to navigate when using only a keyboard

  • The main content page cannot be skipped when using a screen reader

  • There are magnification limitations on the map (on our ‘contact us’ page)

If you are not happy with the way in which we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).

Technical information about this website’s accessibility*

 

Wix.com 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

 

We are committed to making our website accessible, in accordance with The Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

 

This website is fully compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard.

 

 

Examples of non-compliance include:

 

Some images do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content). We plan to add alternative text for all images.

 

Navigation and accessing information

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

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

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

 

Interactive tools and transactions

Some of our interactive forms are difficult to navigate using a keyboard – e.g. because some form controls are missing a ‘label’ tag.

Our forms are built and hosted through third-party software and ‘skinned’ to look like our website.

 

Content that is not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

 

PDFs and other documents

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.
