Recommendations
- To make the website more accessible, patients should be able to:
- Change the size of the text; some people with a visual impairment need information in a large font size.
- Change the colour of the background; some people cannot read text if there is insufficient contrast between text and background.
- Access website information via screen readers and translation software (such as Browesaloud®5 ) especially for people with visual impairments.
2. A Communications handbook6 with basic images of common BSL and Makaton symbols should be available in the reception enabling staff to communicate more effectively with patients who have communication impairments.
