Accessibility

This accessibility statement applies to future.cht.nhs.uk only.

This website is run by Calderdale and Huddersfield Foundation Trust. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

• zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
• navigate most of the website using just a keyboard

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

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

The website is designed to be compatible with assistive technologies and the last two versions of the browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari. In older browsers, some aspects of the website may not display optimally. The website is not designed for Internet Explorer.

Where we provide links to other organisation’s websites we do not take responsibility for their accessibility standards.

• Missing alternative text on images are present.
• Links to PDF documents are present and are not fully accessible to screen reader software.

If you need information on this website in a different format like accessible PDF, large print, easy read, audio recording or braille:

This statement was prepared on 22nd July 2022. It was last reviewed on 3rd March 2025.

This website was last tested on 14th August 2024. 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 this.nhs.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 to audit each page in the sample for accessibility issues.
• We used Wave to test for accessibility issues on pages that do not need users to sign in.
• We used Axe DevTools to test for accessibility issues on pages that do not need users to sign in.
