Hands Together In Celebration is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and, in doing so, adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.
This website is a work in progress, and we are continually making improvements to meet and exceed the standards of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, as required by the European Accessibility Act and in alignment with our commitment to inclusivity.
 
Measures to Support Accessibility
 
We take the following measures to ensure the accessibility of our website:

• Inclusive Design: We have integrated accessibility into our website design and development processes from the outset.

• Ongoing Audits: We conduct regular accessibility audits to identify and address potential barriers.

• User Feedback: We welcome feedback from our users to help us improve the accessibility of our site.

 
Compliance Status
 
Our website is currently partially conformant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. "Partially conformant" means that some parts of the content may not fully conform to the accessibility standard.
 
Known Limitations and Our Commitment to Improvement
 
We are aware of some limitations and are actively working to fix them. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed below

• ​

  • Alt text: Some images may not yet have complete or descriptive alternative text. We are in the process of auditing and updating all images.

  • PDFs: Some older documents on our site may not be fully accessible to screen reader software. We are working to either convert these to HTML or provide accessible versions.

  • Keyboard Navigation: While most of the site is navigable by keyboard, we are aware of some elements that may not be in the most logical focus order. We are working to improve this.

 
Feedback and Contact Information
 
We value your feedback on the accessibility of our website. If you encounter any accessibility barriers, please do not hesitate to contact us. We aim to respond to all accessibility-related queries within [e.g., 5-7 working days].
