How the site helps
and how to tell us
Many readers of this book are older, unwell or caring for someone who is. The website is built to be easy to read and easy to use.
What the site does to help
- Text size. Press the “Aa” button at the top of any page or use the three “A” buttons in the menu and at the foot of every page to make all text larger. The site remembers your choice.
- Large, high-contrast text. Body text is set large. Every text color is checked against the WCAG contrast guidelines on the color it sits on.
- Keyboard friendly. Every link, button and form works with a keyboard, with a clear outline showing where you are and a “Skip to main content” link.
- Calm motion you control. The book on the home page moves only as you scroll. The moving line of words near the foot of each page pauses when you point at it or press its pause button. If your device is set to reduce motion, the site shows everything at rest.
- Clear forms. Every field has a visible label. Errors explain what to fix in words, not only in color.
- Screen readers. Pages use proper headings and landmarks. Images that carry meaning have text descriptions, while decorative illustrations are hidden from screen readers.
- Printing. The hospice answers print cleanly. The one-page family guide is ready to print.
Our standard
The site aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. In October 2026 it was checked with automated accessibility tools, keyboard testing and at several screen sizes, with and without motion. It has not had a formal third-party audit.
