CEDR Accessibility Policy

We aim for a consistently high level of usability for our different audience types across our website, following best-practice accessibility guidelines.

Our commitment to ensuring accessibility for everyone

CEDR is committed to making sure our website is accessible to as many users as possible. We are currently in the process of ensuring our website will conform to the level ‘AA’ Compliance of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) and will update this page in due course.
 

Our guiding principles for accessibility

  • We use live text in appropriately marked up HTML instead of graphics or PDF documents across the site to describe the core service offering of CEDR
  • During the website construction, we ensured robust testing on any colour variations to ensure the contrast between copy and the background are accessible to people with disabilities.
  • All pages are built on a responsive framework i.e. changes dynamically the display according to the device it is being viewed upon e.g. smartphone, tablet, laptop/desktop computer, avoiding the need for any horizontal scrolling.
  • We use a consistent navigation menu and clear signposting across the site
  • We aim to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines - known as the WCAG 2.1 AA Guidelines - set out by W3C where possible
  • Alternative Text or known as 'ALT Tag' compliance - ALT text refers to an invisible description of images that are read aloud to blind users on a screen reader. Adding ALT text allows authors to include images, but still provide the content in an alternative to non-text content, for example, images in web pages. The cedr.com website has Alt Tags correctly applied throughout the site, meeting key accessibility guidelines.
