Accessibility Statement

We want to make our website accessible to everyone who visits the site and ensure it is as easy to use as possible. We have used Squarespace to build our website, using tools that provide simple design and easy navigation of our content.

Through an accessibility audit that took place in April 2021, we are AA compliant, according to WCAG guidelines, which sets the standard for accessibility on digital platforms.

There are improvements we still need to make and we will constantly review the site to ensure it remains accessible to all users. We will:

• include appropriate headings and subheadings to aid navigation by screen-readers

• make text easy to understand 

• make the text of links meaningful so that their target is clear when they are read out of context

• give images appropriate alternative text so that the information they contain is conveyed to those who cannot see them

• make sure that foreground and background colours have a clear contrast to help make them easier to see

• keep our footer updated with the site map to help with navigating through our site
