Accessibility Statement

 

This accessibility statement applies to the website of Project Mind Empower CIC www.projectmindempower.org

We have developed this website to ensure that it is usable by everybody, regardless of age or disability.

Using our site

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard (Tab, Shift-Tab and Return.)
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader

In addition we have:

  • made the website text as simple as possible to understand and used headings rather than just bold text
  • designed navigation so it is clear without reference to visual elements
  • avoided non-descriptive links, for example, ‘Click Here’ or ‘More Information
  • created pages that are compatible with web browser functionality, such as zooming in and colour changes.
  • avoided popup screens

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

All up to date, mainstream, web browsers include accessibility features within the browser. These include features such as changing the colours and the font sizes. Most personal computer browsers on Windows and on Apple Mac OS, support keyboard commands to zoom the browser in and out:

Zoom In [Ctrl/Command]+             (hold down control key and press plus or scroll wheel)

Zoom Out [Ctrl/Command]-          (hold down control key and press minus or scroll wheel)

Reset to normal zoom [Ctrl/Command]0                (hold down control key and press zero)

Technical information and compliance status about our site accessibility

We are committed to making our website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Our website is compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 A standard.

Our accessibility Journey

Our accessibility journey is continuing.

We will make continued assessments at least once a year with this statement having last been reviewed on 28th October 2021.
