Accessiblity Statement

We recognise the importance of providing a website that is inclusive and available for all user groups. This page explains

• our approach to making this website accessible;

• the features provided to enhance the site’s accessibility;

• what to do if you have any questions or feedback for us.

APPROACH

We believe that this website meets or exceeds the requirements of the level A criteria of the World Wide Web Consortium Web Accessibility Initiative (WCAG WAI) 2.0 guidelines.

We want everyone to be able to use our website, in particular, we recognise the need to take reasonable steps to enable access to our website for our customers.

This means you should be able to:

• change colours, contrast levels and fonts

• zoom in up to 300% 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

• listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We also try to make the website text as clear and as easy as possible to understand.

Customising your experience

You might find our website easier to use if you change some of the settings on your device or browser to suit your individual needs. For example it may assist you if you change the website’s colours, increase the text size or have the site spoken aloud.

For more help customising your experience using accessibility features already on your device or by installing extra assistive technologies, read AbilityNet’s My Computer My Way guide.

ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES

TEXT SIZE

You can vary the text size by using your browser’s text resize option: View – Text Size.

ALTERNATIVE TEXT FOR IMAGES

All images have been given appropriate alternative text.

LINK TEXT

All hyperlinks should make sense when read out of context, and hyperlinks are clearly presented in a different text style from normal body text.

JAVASCRIPT INDEPENDENCE

Where JavaScript or other scripts are used for navigation or functionality, an alternative mechanism has been put in place in case your browser does not support these scripts.

COLOUR CONTRAST

We have checked text and background colour combinations to ensure that the contrast is sufficient and we have also ensured that information is not referenced by colour alone.

QUESTIONS AND FEEDBACK

If you have any difficulty in accessing any information on this website, need any information in an alternative format, or if you have any feedback for us, we would like to hear from you. Please ndl_distribtuion@next.co.uk
