The Greater Manchester Health Commission website – www.greatermanchesterhealth.org.uk – is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.
We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and in doing so adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.
This website endeavours to conform to level Double-A of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines will help make the web more user friendly for all people.
This website has been built using code compliant with W3C standards for HTML and CSS. The site displays correctly in current browsers and using standards compliant HTML/CSS code means any future browsers that also comply with these standards will display it correctly.
The information below highlights some of the changes made to improve the accessibility features on the Greater Manchester Health Commission’s website.
Assistive technology
Users with disabilities use assistive technology to aid with the use of a website and to increase the overall user experience and the ability to complete tasks that would not be achievable otherwise.
If you experience any problems using assistive technology tools or have any recommendations to improve accessibility using assistive technology please contact us with your feedback and we’ll do our best to make improvements.
PDF/Microsoft Office Documents
We do supply content in the form of PDF or Microsoft Office documents and wherever possible these are made as accessible as possible. However, it is not always possible but if you are having difficulties with obtaining information from any of these documents please contact us at admin@greatermanchesterhealth.org.uk.
Website Statistics
On this website we use Google Analytics to measure and analyse information with respect to visits to our website. We use this information to increase the efficiency of our website.
To that affect we use your IP-address (and possibly other comparable numbers which are exchanged between computers during regular internet use) to collect, among others, traffic data and data regarding your browser type and internet connection.
In addition cookies are used. A cookie contains merely a unique number. The cookies can only be used to recognise you on our websites, so not on any other websites or by third parties.
It is possible to configure your browser to refuse cookies, to be informed if a cookie is set or to remove cookies afterward. For more information please visit the help areas of the specific web browser that you use.
In Summary
Whilst our website strives to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of our website.
We are continually seeking out solutions that will bring all areas of the website up to the same level of overall web accessibility. In the meantime should you experience any difficulty in accessing the Greater Manchester Health Commission website please don’t hesitate to contact us at admin@greatermanchesterhealth.org.uk
