Freebridge Community Housing aims to make this website accessible to all visitors and is viewable in the widest possible range of web-browsing technology. To achieve this goal, the website was created in accordance with certain web standards and government guidelines.

Many websites, browsers and operating systems have multiple options to help make websites more accessible. Some of the more popular options are detailed below.
** Please note that this information is held on websites external to the Freebridge's website (such as Microsoft) and therefore Freebridge can hold no responsibility for the content of such sites or the results of any action taken following guidance on these sites.

The following features are enabled throughout the Freebridge website to make viewing the site as easy as possible:

ReachDeck reads web pages aloud for people who find it difficult to read online. Reading large amounts of text on screen can be difficult for those with literacy and visual impairments.

ReachDeck is a computer program that reads out all website content including PDF and MS Word documents. As you move the cursor over words, they are spoken aloud - this will also work on mobile devices by reading what is on screen, or you can highlight certain areas of text.

The Freebridge site is registered for use with ReachDeck and the software is free to the end user.

To use ReachDeck, click the 'listen' icon, which can be found at the bottom of each webpage. This will open a toolbar along the top where you can select which accessibility service you need.

We've put a handy video together to show you how to use ReachDeck, which you can watch here.
