Accessibility Statement

1. 🌐 Accessibility Standards
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

This means our website should:
•     Be navigable using a keyboard
•     Offer sufficient colour contrast
•     Allow text resizing without loss of content or functionality
•     Be compatible with screen readers and assistive technologies
•     Use clear, consistent language and structure

​

We have therefore 

​

• Used the Accessibility Wizard to find and fix potential accessibility issues

• Set the language of the site 

• Set the content order of the site’s pages

• Defined clear heading structures on all of the site’s pages

• Added alternative text to images

• Implemented color combinations that meet the required color contrast

• Reduced the use of motion on the site

• Ensured all videos, audio, and files on the site are accessible

2. 🧭 How You Can Use This Website
You should be able to:
•     Zoom in up to 300% without text spilling off the screen
•     Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
•     Listen to content using screen readers (e.g., JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver)
•     Access content on mobile, tablet, and desktop devices​

3. ⚠️ Known Accessibility Issues
