Our Approach to Web Accessibility
Web accessibility is about ensuring that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the web, and that they can contribute to the web. We believe in creating an online environment that is equally enjoyable and usable for everyone.
Our website is designed to be accessible and user-friendly. We have implemented the following features to support accessibility:
​
-
Alternative Text: We will endeavour to include descriptive alternative text for images on our website for users who rely on screen readers.
​ -
Keyboard Navigation: Our website can be navigated using a keyboard alone, allowing users with mobility impairments to access all content and functionalities.
​ -
Text Size and Contrast: We provide options to adjust text size and ensure that colour contrast meets accessibility guidelines to enhance readability for users with visual impairments.
​ -
Clear Language: We use plain language and straightforward navigation to make content easily understandable for all users.
Standards and Guidelines
​
We aim to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, which outline recommendations for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities. Our goal is to meet at least Level AA standards of accessibility.
