Measures We Take
We take the following measures to support accessibility across our website:
- Use semantic HTML and proper heading structure
- Provide text alternatives for non-text content
- Ensure sufficient color contrast and scalable text
- Support keyboard navigation and visible focus states
- Limit motion and animation and provide user controls where appropriate
- Label form fields and associate errors with inputs
- Conduct ongoing testing using automated tools and manual checks
Compatibility & Technology
This website is designed to be compatible with current versions of major web browsers and assistive technologies, including screen readers, on both desktop and mobile devices.
The website relies on the following technologies:
- HTML
- WAI-ARIA
- CSS
- JavaScript
Known Limitations
While we strive to achieve and maintain WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance, some content may not yet fully conform. Known limitations may include:
- Third-party content or embeds (such as maps, videos, or donation platforms) that are not fully accessible
- Legacy documents or PDFs that may not meet all accessibility criteria
We are actively working to address these limitations where feasible.
