Accessibility Statement
University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This accessibility statement applies to the entire site of www.sexualhealthwestsussex.nhs.uk.
Compliance Status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Non-Accessible Content
The issues listed below are non-accessible for the following reasons:
- Some images lack alt text, so people who use screen readers cannot access the information.
- Navigation relies on nested dropdown menus which can be difficult to use on mobiles.
- The high contrast and text size toggle features can make some parts of the website non-functional or difficult to understand, meaning people reliant on this functionality may not have full access to the site’s information.
What we’re doing about it:
- We are commissioning a fully accessible new website for launch in 2026/27, which will be built to WCAG 2.2 AA standards from the ground up.
