Accessibility Statement

This accessibility statement applies to the Cancer Reporting Tool.

This is run by Public Health Wales. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • zoom in up to 200% 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 have 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.
Accessibility on this website is guided by government standards and the 
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). WCAG are widely accepted as the international standard for accessibility on the web.

Whilst we aim to make this website accessible to all users and achieve a WCAG conformance level 'AA'; we continually work with stakeholders to ensure that conformance level 'A' is adhered to as a minimum.
