Accessibility Statement for Cornwall Community Foundation

Our Commitment

Cornwall Community Foundation is committed to ensuring our website is as accessible and inclusive as possible for all users, including those with disabilities. This accessibility statement outlines the features we’ve implemented to support accessibility and our plans for ongoing improvements.

How Accessible This Website Is

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard.

We are aware that parts of our website are not yet fully accessible. For example:

  • Some images may lack descriptive text alternatives.
  • Certain interactive features may not function optimally with assistive technologies.
  • Google Maps Embeds
  • Event Calendar, provided by an external source
  • PDF documents generated from our Eligibility Checker may not be accessible. 

However, we have implemented several features to support users with accessibility needs.

Accessibility Features

Our website includes the following accessibility features:

  • Keyboard Navigation: Key website functions are accessible using a keyboard.
  • Text Alternatives: Non-text content includes basic descriptive text where possible.
  • Responsive Design: The site is designed to function effectively across various devices and screen sizes.
  • Readable Content: Clear fonts and high contrasting colours are used to enhance readability.
  • Consistent Layouts: Pages are designed with simple, predictable structures to support easy navigation.
  • Scaling Text: Users can zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen.
  • Voice Navigation: Most of the website can be navigated using speech recognition software or listened to using screen readers (including JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver).

 

What We’re Doing to Improve Accessibility

We are committed to ongoing improvements and plan to:

  • Add descriptive text alternatives to images where missing.
  • Enhance keyboard operability for all website functions.
  • Review and update interactive features to ensure compatibility with assistive technologies.
  • Conduct accessibility assessments and seek feedback from users to guide future updates.
