The Healthwave Hub comprises of:

1. A Digital Platform that provides resources and knowledge informed content to citizens.

2. A Digital Platform that provides administrative and monitoring capabilities.

The Healthwave Hub is the responsibility of Healthwave Limited.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use the Healthwave Hub, which means being able to:

• Use different screen sizes

• Get alt text for images

• Correct content sequencing

• Consistent navigation

• Appropriate labels

• Zoom within device settings

• Resize text

• No content that relies solely on sensory characteristics of components such as shape, size, visual location, orientation, or sound.

• Descriptive links

• Heading hierarchies for content pages

• Video captions, transcriptions and audio descriptions in content pages

• Use any content types or features that have been optimised such as accordions, slideshow/carousels, tables and tabs.

• Use Web Rotor to navigate pages

We aim for no restrictions for:

• Deaf users

• Limited hearing users

• Non-verbal users

• Limited manipulation users

• Limited reach and strength users

• Cognitive user group

There are some restrictions for:

• Users without vision

Colour and Contrast

There may be cases on our website where text does not meet the minimum colour contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text or 3:1 for large text. WCAG 1.4.3: Contrast (minimum)

Screen Reader

1. Images on some pages do not always have suitable image descriptions. Users of assistive technologies may not have access to information conveyed in images. With the speed which content is added, unlabelled images can result, but this rarely affects the user experience, and we endeavour to keep this area monitored.

2. Some content looks like headings but is not. This makes it difficult for screen reader users to navigate the page.

3. Some links can't be used by screen readers.

4. While every effort has been made to make forms accessible, there is complexity with some form controls – this is mostly mitigated by field text labelling, but may not always be immediately clear.

What we do about known issues

We are working to achieve and maintain Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA standards, but it is not always possible for all our content to be accessible. Where content is not accessible, we will state a reason, warn users and offer alternatives.

Reporting accessibility issues

If you find any accessibility issues with any component of the Healthwave Hub, please contact Info@healthwavehub.com who will endeavour to respond to you within 72 hours.

If you need information on this accessibility statement in a different format, such as an accessible PDF, large print, easy read, audio recording or braille, please contact Info@healthwavehub.com
