Our Accessibility Standards
We strive to adhere to the highest standards of web accessibility, ensuring that our website complies with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA. These guidelines help make web content more accessible to a wider range of users, including people with disabilities, and ensure a smooth experience across various platforms.
Our efforts include the following:
- Keyboard Navigation: Our website is designed to be fully navigable by keyboard. This ensures that users who rely on keyboard commands, including individuals with motor disabilities, can access all areas of our site without needing a mouse.
- Screen Reader Compatibility: We have optimised the readyBC website to be compatible with screen readers, ensuring that visually impaired users can access all text and functionality. Important visual elements are clearly labeled, providing a seamless experience for users relying on assistive technology.
- Text Size and Readability: We offer clear, easily readable fonts, and users can adjust text size as needed through browser settings. Our website maintains strong color contrast ratios, improving visibility for users with visual impairments or color blindness.
- Responsive Design: Our website is fully responsive, ensuring accessibility across devices of all sizes—from desktop computers to mobile phones. This makes it easy for users to engage with our content, no matter what technology they are using.
- Accessible Forms and Navigation: Our forms are designed with accessibility in mind. Input fields, buttons, and navigation menus are all clearly labeled, ensuring that all users, including those using assistive devices, can interact with our site without issues.
