North Lanarkshire Council is committed to making its websites accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This accessibility statement applies to content published on the hscnl.org.uk domain.

It does not apply to other NHS Lanarkshire websites.

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliance(s) and/or the exemptions listed below.

• Most older PDF documents aren’t fully accessible to screen reader software. Where this is the case, we have indicated that an accessible version is available on request.
• Some newer PDFs or Word documents (published after 23 September 2018) do not meet accessibility standards as defined by the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018. This includes statutory notices. Where this is the case, we have indicated that an accessible version is available on request.
• Live video streams don’t have captions
• The colour contrast of the text contained in the embedded web content from the NHS ‘Care Opinion’. website is too low.

We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
