This Accessibility Statement covers both www.cpft.nhs.uk and the mobile version of www.cpft.nhs.uk.

This website is run by Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
