Accessibility

This accessibility statement applies to the Equalities Resource Hub website.

This website is run by Social Development Direct Limited. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • Change to a high contrast colour version of the website. You can toggle our dark or light contrast mode at the bottom of each page.
  • Zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen. Click here for information on increasing your browser’s text size.
  • Navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software.
  • Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver).

The website is marked up using semantic HTML with Aria labels allowing for the website to be accessed using assistive technologies such as screen readers.

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

How accessible is this website?

The website has been tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA standard, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). We regularly test our compliance to the WCAG guidelines using a variety of automated and manual web and software-based accessibility testing systems.

Our website provides links to third party websites and PDF documents available on third party provider websites. We have attempted to select documents which are compliant with accessibility guidelines by undertaking accessibility checks on each document. This includes assessing the font size and type, text alignment, colour contrasts, use of plain language, layout, and keyboard navigation. The documents we link to will meet at least 50% of these criteria as a minimum standard. Please note, however, that documents may not all be fully accessible or provide alternative accessible formats.

We are always working to make improvements to the accessibility and usability of the website. We will review and update this statement on a regular basis, at least once a year. If you find any problems not listed on this page or think we are not meeting accessibility requirements, you can let us know through our contact page
