This accessibility statement applies to the NIHR Global Health Research Centre for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and Environmental Change website, https://ghrcentre-ncdec.nihr.ac.uk/opens a new window

This website is run by the NIHR Global Health Research Centre for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and Environmental Change.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.

For example, that means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels, and fonts
  • zoom in up to 400% with text staying visible on the screen, and most images scaling without resolution loss
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • read most of the website using a screen reader, including the latest versions of JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver
  • read most of the website on devices without a screen, like a braille computer
  • use the website, though not the search, even if Javascript is switched off.

We’ve made the website text as simple as possible to understand, using plain English wherever possible.

Some of our content is technical, and contains scientific terms and language. In some instances we have not been able to simplify the wording without changing the meaning of the text.

If you have a problem accessing any documents then AbilityNet has advice to help you make your device easier to use.

How accessible this website is

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

  • We have some documents in PDF and other formats not designed for accessibility.
  • Some content is embedded in our website, such as videos, and you cannot easily scale these on screen (but you can open a full screen version)
  • Some content embedded in our HTML documents is not fully accessible.
