Accessibility statement for The CHASE Knowledge Exchange Hub
The CHASE KEH is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
• Access most of the information found on the site.
• Zoom most pages 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, and navigate, most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver).
• Access all video content, either visually, or through accessible technology.
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand. We have used Chrome’s Lighthouse plugin to assess the website’s accessibility.
