Accessibility statement

Accessibility statement for the Mental Health Prevention Research website.

This accessibility statement applies to www.mentalhealthpreventionresearch.nhs.uk  

This website has been created to share research findings following a National Institute of Health Research (NIHR), Research for Patient Benefit (RfPB) funded study, which was hosted within Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS 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:

  • Change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • Zoom in up to 400% 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’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.
