About Our Statement
This accessibility statement applies to www.alivewestnorfolk.co.uk.
This website is run by Alive West Norfolk. We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience.
For example, that means you should be able to:
- change the text size, colours and fonts
- zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
- 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)
We’ve also tried to make the website text as simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
Regardless of ability or browsing technology, the site aims to achieve overall compliance with the Web Accessibility Initiative’s (WAI) guidelines.
Our aim has been to design a simple and clearly laid out site which is easy to use for all visitors to the site. However if you are having problems using or finding your way around the site, the following areas may help.
Navigation
The vertical navigation bar at the top of the page contains the main site links and the sub menu below, links to different sub sections within these areas.
Changing Text Size
The text size for Alive can be changed using features within your web browser:
- Internet Explorer: Select the “View” menu, then “Text size”
- FireFox: Select the “View” menu, then “Zoom” or “Zoom text only”

Adobe Acrobat and Accessibility
We sometimes use the Adobe PDF format for some documents. Adobe provides advice on how to configure your Reader, and a free download of the Accessible Adobe Reader.
If you use a screen reading program which synthesizes text as audible speech you may experience difficulty reading PDF files.
The Access Adobe web site provides online tools to convert PDF documents into standard HTML or ASCII text.
