This accessibility statement applies to the Quit Ready website, run by Leicestershire County Council.

We have tried to design this site to be as accessible and useable as possible for every user. For example, you should be able to:

  • Zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • Change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • 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)
  • View text transcripts of audio content of videos

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