Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.
Current Accessibility Status:
We recently conducted an accessibility audit of our website. This website partially complies with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard. While we are proud of the steps we have taken to ensure accessibility, we recognise some areas need improvement. Here’s an overview:
• We’ve identified and are addressing issues related to text alternatives for non-text content, ensuring that our site’s structure is clear and improving our user interface components for better compatibility with assistive technologies.
• Navigation and interactivity are areas we’re focusing on, ensuring that keyboard-only users and those using screen readers can navigate our site efficiently.
• Our design and visual presentation are being fine-tuned to provide better readability and usability, especially for those with visual impairments.
Our Commitment:
We view accessibility as an ongoing effort and are continually seeking solutions that will make all areas of our website meet the level of overall web accessibility, and we will conduct a formal audit of the site every 12 months. In the meantime, should you experience any difficulty in accessing https://foundationpracticerating.org.uk, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Accessibility Roadmap:
In addition to promptly addressing issues as they arise, we have a roadmap to enhance the accessibility of our website further:
• By the end of 2023, conduct detailed automated and manual accessibility testing against WCAG 2.1 AA levels.
• By mid-2024, address identified issues to reach a minimum of 75% conformance.
• By the end of 2024, reach 90%+ conformance to WCAG 2.1 AA.
