Accessibility Statement

 

This statement was last updated on [June 2024].

​

We at Hopewell School are committed to making our website accessible to people with disabilities.

 

What web accessibility is An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating and through assistive technologies.

 

Accessibility adjustments on this site We have adapted this site in accordance with WCAG 2.0 guidelines, and have made the site accessible to the level of AA. This site's contents have been adapted to work with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard use. As part of this effort, we have also:

 

  • Used the Accessibility Wizard to find and fix potential accessibility issues

  • Set the language of the site

  • Set the content order of the site’s pages

  • Defined clear heading structures on all of the site’s pages

  • Added alternative text to images

  • Implemented color combinations that meet the required color contrast

  • Reduced the use of motion on the site

  • Ensured all videos, audio, and files on the site are accessible

  • Ensured text is bold and consistent

  • Included captions for videos along with audio that can be turned on and off

  • Designed pages to streamline text and reduce clutter, with clear signposting and interactivity

​

Continuous Improvement The accessibility of this website is in continuing development, and meeting the needs of our viewers is important to us. We will continue to adapt and improve the site.

 

Requests, issues, and suggestions If you find an accessibility issue on the site, or if you require further assistance, you are welcome to contact us through the organization's accessibility coordinator:

This document has been developed in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). The WCAG is a global collaboration on technical standards to make the web more accessible to all individuals. WCAG is centered around four main accessibility principles: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust, which are further divided into 12 specific guidelines.
