Measures to support accessibility

We take the following measures to ensure accessibility of our website:

• Include accessibility as part of our mission statement;
• Include accessibility throughout our internal policies;
• Provide continual accessibility training for our staff;
• Assign clear accessibility goals and responsibilities;
• Employ formal accessibility quality assurance methods.

Conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. UKAD is fully conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Fully conformant means that the content fully conforms to the accessibility standard without any exceptions.

Adhering to this standard enhances our website's user-friendliness and accessibility to everyone.

Our efforts include, but are not limited to:

• Consistent heading structure: Properly ordered and nested heading tags (<h1>, <h2>, etc.) create a clear and logical structure, helping screen readers interpret page content efficiently;
• Descriptive links: Links are labeled with meaningful, descriptive text, avoiding generic terms like “click here.” Additionally, links include descriptive titles to provide context for users;
• Alt text for images: Every image, including those in slideshows and galleries, features descriptive alt text that accurately conveys the image’s content;
• Color contrast: We ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colors for readability, enhancing visual accessibility across our content;
• Avoid deprecated tags: Instead of using outdated HTML tags like <b>, <i>, or <font> for formatting, we rely on modern CSS to maintain semantic structure.

Additional accessibility considerations

Although our goal is WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance, we have also applied some Level AAA Success Criteria: 

• We try to make all content functionality operable through a keyboard interface without requiring specific timings for individual keystrokes.
• Also, section headings are used to organize the content to achieve Level AAA Success Criteria.
