Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust 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 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

• User is able to tab away from a dialog without explicitly closing it, this fails WCAG 2.4.3.
• Some headings visual presentation does not match the programmatic level, this fails WCAG 1.3.1.
• Elements have incomplete tags or duplicate attributes, this fails WCAG 4.1.1.
• Text fields with specific purposes do not have the correct autocomplete attribute, this fails WCAG 1.3.5.
• Some text does not adjust to changes in text spacing, this fails WCAG 1.4.12.

We plan to address the above issues by the end of December 2022.

PDFs and other documents

Some of our pages link to PDF documents provided by external organisations for additional content.  Whilst these documents are outside of our control, we will update links to web page content where possible when articles are reviewed.

Live video

We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
