Accessibility Statement

We aim to provide an inclusive experience and are continually improving the accessibility and usability of this website.

Our commitment

We strive to ensure that everyone can access the information and services provided on this website by:

• Designing and developing with accessibility in mind

• Applying recognised accessibility standards and best practices

• Regularly reviewing and improving accessibility features as the site evolves

Standards and guidelines

This website is designed to conform, as far as reasonably possible, with:

• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA

• Irish National Disability Authority (NDA) IT Accessibility Guidelines

• Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act, where applicable

We continue to work towards improving compliance across all areas of the site.

Built-in accessibility tools

This website includes a custom accessibility widget, available directly on the site, which allows users to personalise their viewing experience. The widget provides the following controls:

• Font size adjustment
  Users can increase or decrease text size, or reset it to the default setting.

• High-contrast mode
  A contrast toggle improves readability for users with visual impairments or sensitivity to colour contrast.

• Grayscale images
  Images can be displayed in grayscale to reduce visual distraction and support certain visual or cognitive needs.

These settings are optional and user-controlled, allowing visitors to adapt the site to their individual preferences.

Technical accessibility features

The website also incorporates the following accessibility practices:

• Semantic HTML5 markup to support assistive technologies

• Clear heading hierarchy to aid screen reader navigation

• Keyboard-accessible navigation where possible

• Responsive layouts for different screen sizes and zoom levels

• Relative font sizing that respects browser and system settings

Images and media

• Informative images include descriptive alternative (alt) text

• Decorative images use empty alt attributes so they are ignored by screen readers

Visual design and readability

• CSS is used to separate content structure from visual presentation

• Colour contrast has been considered to support readability

• Layouts adapt to user zoom and text resizing without loss of content or functionality

Ongoing improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing process. While we aim to make all content fully accessible, some areas of the site may not yet meet all accessibility requirements. We are actively working to identify and address these areas.

Assistive technologies

This website is designed to be compatible with commonly used assistive technologies, including:

• Screen readers such as JAWS and NVDA

• Keyboard-only navigation

• Modern browsers with built-in accessibility features
