Non-accessible content on our website

 

Google Maps

Some of our pages contain embedded Google Maps that show the location of buildings. People using a screen reader can’t navigate the map or access the information in it. This is an issue with Google Maps and not within our control.

We have content elsewhere on these pages that describes the location of our buildings.

Translation services

We provide translation services for individuals who do not speak or read English, are blind or have a visual impairment, and are deaf or have a hearing impairment.

We provide:

  • Interpretation, including British Sign Language.
  • Language translations.
  • Braille, large print, British Sign Language and electronic versions including email.

The easiest way to ask for an interpreter or translation service is online using our webform.

Alternatively, a friend or adult relative can ask over the phone, on 0203 535 3535 Monday to Friday, 8am-6pm.
