Here are some tips on how to use accessibility features on the HCPT Manchester Region website:

Acronyms and abbreviations

Wherever possible, we avoid using jargon and always provide explanations for acronyms and abbreviations.

Tables

Tables are only used for tabular data, not for layout purposes.

All tables have captions and summary text and rows and columns have marked headers.

Images

All of our images and graphics have ‘alt text’ and written descriptions.

PDF (Portable Document Format)

PDF files preserve all the fonts, formatting, graphics, and colour of a printed document once it is placed on a website. Several documents on our website are provided in PDF format.

Modern versions of PDF software, such as Adobe, have a number of features which improve the accessibility of PDF files. However, if you continue to have trouble reading them, there are a variety of free online tools for converting PDF files to HTML or text, which can be downloaded via the internet.

My web, my way
