Extent of accessibility
Mersey Care has undertaken extensive accessibility testing of the general functions of the website. Not all elements, pages and individual products are fully accessible. For example, PDF documents can be difficult for some users who rely on assistive technology. Some of our PDFs and word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how users can access our services, and forms published as word documents.
Mersey Care endeavor to ensure any new PDFs or word documents published will meet accessibility standards.
