Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
Compatibility with Screen reader software
Articulate Storyline and Rise (the two software packages used by the Trust to develop eLearning courses) is currently working on full screen reader support. News on the developments can be found here: https://articulate.com/360/whats-new
Some of the older videos do not have subtitles or transcripts available, these videos will be continued to be updated or replaced during 2022/2023.
Many of our older PDFs and Word documents do not meet accessibility standards – for example, they may not be structured so they’re accessible to a screen reader. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2.
Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how users can access our services.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
If you encounter any PDF or Word documents that do not meet your accessibility needs please contact us blendedlearning@lthtr.nhs.uk
The site uses a large number of PDF and Word documents drawn from a wide variety of sources and it is a disproportionate burden to replace all those documents with newer accessible versions by 2021.
Any new documents published will be accessible and the existing documents will gradually be replaced.
This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2.
During 2022/2023, it is intended to continue to review the site and all its content to ensure accuracy and accessibility compliance wherever possible.
