Accessibility at Birch Park Community Hub
Web accessibility refers to the inclusive practice of removing barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to websites, by people with disabilities. When sites are correctly designed, developed, and edited, all users have equal access to information and functionality.
What is Web Accessibility?
At Birch Park Community Hub, we adhere to WCAG 2.1 guidelines and aim for AA level compliance. Our website has been designed to be compatible with assistive technologies, ensuring seamless navigation and interaction for all users. Our initiatives include:
Our Accessibility Initiatives
• Utilizing the Accessibility Wizard to identify and address potential accessibility issues
• Setting the language of the site for improved comprehension
• Establishing clear heading structures across all pages
• Providing alternative text for images
• Implementing color combinations that meet required contrast ratios
• Minimizing the use of motion to prevent distraction
• Ensuring accessibility of all multimedia content
- In some cases, certain pages on our site may include third-party content that affects their accessibility. We are actively working to address these issues and ensure the highest level of accessibility across all areas of our website.
Our physical premises and facilities are designed to be accessible to all members of the community. From parking and public transportation to our service areas, we are committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone.
