Description
This accessibility statement applies to the NCL Waiting Room website at nclwaitingroom.nhs.uk
This website is run by the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
Currently, the site does not meet our desired accessibility standard. However, we are making necessary changes to bring it to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard.
You can read about the areas where these issues are and our plans to rectify them below. This rectification work is expected to complete in August 2024.
