Accessibility Statement 

This statement relates to all pages on https://nicrn.hscni.net/

This website is administered by Northern Ireland Clinical Research Network 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 300% 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.

How we tested this website

We used an automated on-page accessibility tool (WAVE) to test a small selection of pages.

There may be other issues that our testing has not picked up.

The website will be tested more thoroughly and systematically and this statement will be updated as required.
