Web Accessibility Statement

Last updated: April 6, 2024 

Including Disability has committed to digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continue to make changes to improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards.

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. Wherever possible, Including Disability will aim to adhere to level AA of the WCAG 2.1 guidelines, which states that sites should be:

• Perceivable – Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
• Operable – User interface components and navigation must be operable.
• Understandable – Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable.
• Robust – Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of the Including Disability website. If you have experienced any accessibility barriers while using any part of the site, please let us know:
