1. Our Commitment to Accessibility

We aim to meet or exceed the accessibility standards outlined in the Equality Act 2010 in the UK. Additionally, we are working towards full compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level. These guidelines help ensure that our website is accessible to individuals with diverse abilities, including those using assistive technologies such as screen readers, voice recognition software, or magnifiers.

2. Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following features to improve website accessibility:

Keyboard Navigation

The website can be fully navigated using only a keyboard, allowing users to browse without the need for a mouse.

Screen Reader Compatibility

Our website is compatible with screen readers, featuring alternative text for images, meaningful labels for interactive elements, and a logical heading structure for easier navigation.

Contrast and Readability

Text and background colors on our website meet contrast ratio standards for optimal readability. Fonts are clear and legible to accommodate users with visual impairments.

Alt Text for Images

All meaningful images on our website include descriptive alternative text to ensure users with visual impairments can understand the content of the images.

Accessible Forms

Forms are structured with clear labels, instructions, and validation messages, ensuring usability for individuals relying on assistive technologies.
